Take the window blinds off and have a look into your backyard. What do you see? An assembly of gorgeous daisies or a green-less patch adorned with junk? Regardless of how your backyard looks,3 Ways to make your Backyard more Fun Articles there is always something that you can do to brighten up the place. Here, we will be looking at 3 most creative and recreational ways that can help you turn your backyard into a perfect little fun space.

Backyard Bowling

Let’s get all those empty bottles, cans and anything that remotely looks like a bottle (or grab anything that can be knocked down easily; its backyard bowling, no restrictions!) Place the bottles in a corner and take a shot from the distance. See who can get the most bottles knocked over. This can be a great family game and plus your kids can actually have fun playing in the backyard. If you can’t find the empty bottles, go with the beer cans. No beer cans? Grab some small wood logs. Wood logs can be more challenging than the beer cans or the empty bottles.

Backyard Water Bed

A water bed is a great activity-evoking instrument that can get your kids to ditch their screen-based devices and have a day out in the sun. You do not have to spend hundreds of dollars to get a water bed for your backyard. All you need is a big enough tarp equipment cover (preferably  10′ X 20′ – 3.5 millimeter) to cover a substantial portion of your backyard. Use the duct tape to seal the open end and fill the cover with a water hose.

This may not be as exciting as the backyard bowling, but it can be just as much fun. The great thing about water beds is that they never wear out like most of the outdoor playground equipment. In addition, water beds are safer than various other backyard activities. The backyard water bed can be used for myriad physical activities, use your imagination to make things exciting.

Easy water slide

What if you could turn a simple camping tarp, a bottle of shampoo and a garden hose into a fun-blasting backyard activity? Yep, no commercial playground equipment required. All you have to do is get a camping tarp and a shampoo bottle. Just simply spread the tarp on the ground and wet it with the garden hose. Now sprinkle a little shampoo on the tarp to make it slippery. And that is it! Slide away with your toddlers and have wetty weekends.

Simple gaming activities in the backyard can turn your patch of dirt into a dynamic play house. So, do something about that barren plot today and make it useful.
