Five ball games to play in the garden with your kids

Five ball games to play in the garden with your kids

During this lockdown we at Keystone know from first hand experience that it can be difficult combining working from home and keeping your kids occupied! My wife Jill works in the food industry so she is particularly busy so i've had to take over for a couple of hours at lunch time to look after our five year old son Blake.
Luckily the weather is great right now so heres some ideas on ball games you can play in the garden.

1.   Boules - this was the one he loved the most! Luckily we had a set in the garage but any balls will do the job. You firstly need a jack - the ball youre trying to aim for. You divide the balls up. The idea of the game is to get as close to the jack as possible - the one whos closest wins!
2.   Football - classic favourite. We always have a game of wally....basically kick the ball against a wall and the other player has to kick it against the wall with just one touch - simple!
3.   Hide the balls in the garden - simple but fun - Its a bit of a take on hide and seek which kids love.
4.   Dizzy Kick ball - self explanatory! Hillarious especially if you've had a glass of wine or two! The adults not the kids!
5.   Skittles - Use with the boule balls and you can use bottles as skittles...

So there you are guys, some ideas from Keystone to hopefully put a smile on your faces during these hard times.
