Utah kids enjoy exercise when it is fun and most Draper kids love playing with water. Here are some fun ideas for kids outdoor water games and activities that can provide exercise and low-cost entertainment on hot days.
Jump Rope with a Twist: Give all participants a full cup of water (keep it safe with plastic cups). All cups need to be the same size. Take turns jumping rope while holding the cups of water. The person who has the most water left in the cup wins.
DIY Water Table: You can buy your kids a water table at any Draper toy store – there are many in the 84043 zip code area. Or you can make your own, and the possibilities are endless. Start with a large shallow storage container, with or without the lid. Use your imagination to add fun objects: you can put some sand in it, and bury ‘treasures’ like colorful beads, rocks, or pirate coins. You can add funnels, sifters, cars, and trucks. Then add the water, and your creative Draper kids will do the rest.
Squirt bottles: I love giving young Utah kids squirt bottles and a small towel. If they’re young enough, they can have fun spraying the car and wiping it clean. They may also enjoy squirting the water on cement, and ‘drawing’ or ‘writing’ with the water. The same may be done if 84043 zip code area parents give children an old large paintbrush to dip in the water, and ‘paint’ the sidewalk.
Have fun, Salt Lake City parents, and remember – kids are only young for a brief time – ENJOY it!
