Here are three ideas for family entertainment that will keep children busy and also provide an activity for adults.

The treasure chest is a great game to keep children occupied. By changing the contents of the box the game will always be new and exciting. You could even add movie tickets or a trip to the beach as one of the content items. The game could be turned into a guessing game with clues leading to the box. It’s also adaptable for older teens and adults.

These games are easy to set up, very inexpensive and can be changed so that they always add a new dimension to backyard fun.
