Midway through summer, parents start hearing the dreaded phrase from their kids--"I'm bored". An alternative to kids relying on technology for entertainment are some games that most adults remember from their childhood. Games that allow children to build their gross and fine motor skills, cognitive and play skills, as well as their ability to learn turn taking and working well with others--hopscotch, jump rope, four square, tag, and climbing trees. These games are simple to learn, require little, if any, equipment, and can be played almost anywhere.
