When it comes to getting your children toys, you can't go wrong with remote-controlled cars. They are available in many models, and they're interactive and fun for individuals of all ages. Younger kids love them for the movement, colors, and designs, while older kids can appreciate the multitude of features they offer. They're even more enjoyable when you can play games with them. If you're looking for additional activities to do with your RC cars, try the following games.

A Guide to Remote-Controlled Car Games

1. Racing

If you want to teach your kids dexterity or just show off the car's speed, set up a race with multiple laps. This activity is great if it's just you and your child or if you have a big family. While the race might be a little hectic with lots of people, it will be fun and entertaining trying to navigate around each other's RC cars.

If you're at the park or have a big backyard, you can set up a formal track by marking it out with rocks, string, or other small toys. You could also just have everyone drive around in a circle on your property.

2. Soccer

Set up a soccer game if you're looking for something a bit more involved. You can use outdoor toys or string to establish the goals on either side of the "field."

Bigger remote-controlled cars can handle a regular soccer ball, but the object may be too dense for some models; a kickball or a beach ball might be easier for smaller toys to push around. You could even use a tennis ball or a Wiffle® ball. The more cars you have participating, the more fun the game will be since you can create teams. 

3. Stunts

Set up stunt competitions for tricks like wheelies, donuts, flips, and jumps. Arranging the obstacle course is half the fun, and you and your children can make it as rustic or elaborate as you see fit. You can build the ramps using rocks, twigs, and dirt, or you could get even more creative by crafting them with wood and tools.
