Back in the early days of this blog, my Go Outside Cards post was one of my most popular posts. It still has people stopping by daily.It was a simple idea to add a surprise element to your day.

The premise was simple. Write several outdoor activities on index cards, put them in an envelope, and have your kids choose one to kick-start their outdoor play.

The ideas on the cards weren’t complicated and most did not require any prep time or special supplies.

I’ve been wanting to update that post for a long time and now that spring is here, it seems like the perfect time.

I came up with 25 fun outdoor activities and created a free printable for you. I’ve even included 5 blank cards so you can add your own fun ideas.All you need to do is print them out, cut, hide in an envelope, and go have fun! Include all 25 or just pick the ones that work for your family.

I’ve got simple ideas such as play hopscotch, go on a nature walk, jump rope, search for bugs, and roll down a hill.I’ve included active play, nature play, and pretend play.

It’s a fun boredom buster and a great excuse to just get outside and play.
