With the sun on your face and your feet in the sand, you may just want to spend the first few days of your beach vacation stretched out on a towel. However, once you’ve had enough R&R and want to play with your kids or friends, knowing a few beach-friendly games can make for a fun day. If you’re looking for inspiration, use these game ideas to entertain your little ones and get some seaside exercise.

Fun Games to Play During Your Beach Vacation

1. Limbo

beach vacationThis classic game will have everyone laughing, and the soft sand below will cushion any falls. Play some upbeat music on your stereo or speaker, then use a long, narrow item such as a broom or yardstick to create a pole. With one person holding each end of the pole, encourage your children and their friends to see how low they can walk before they end up with a sandy backside.

2. Slithery Snake

For this beach vacation game, all you’ll need is a jump rope and a few energetic little players. You can even stay on your towel while you wiggle the rope back and forth on the sand in a serpentine motion. Tell your children to try and jump over the snake without getting touched by it, and they’ll use all of that pent-up energy jumping over your rope reptile.

3. Frisbee Golf

If you have a frisbee, create a unique game out of it with the help of a few items to mark as holes, such as shoes, coolers, or umbrellas. Try to get your disc to each object in as few throws as possible— the seashore wind may make this harder than you’d expect! Best of all, from kids to grandparents, people of all ages can join in this competitive game.
