Movement, fresh air and lots of joy – these are the ingredients for unforgettable childhood memories. Children crave adventure, and the outdoors offers the perfect playground: in the garden, on the playground or during a family trip. But sometimes inspiration is missing. That’s why we’ve collected 7 outdoor games kids love – supported by KETTLER products that stand for quality, safety and long-lasting fun.

1. Kettcar racing in the garden – feel the speed

A racetrack made of chalk or cones transforms any backyard into a mini Formula 1. With a ride-on like the KETTLER Kettcar Evolution, kids experience speed, coordination and real racing feeling.
Tip: Add pit stops – for a quick “tire check” or water break – to make the play even more exciting.

2. Table tennis outdoors – fun for the whole family

Table tennis is a game for generations. A weatherproof table like the KETTLER K5 Outdoor brings sport and fun into the garden. Kids improve reaction, coordination and endurance, while adults join the fun. Perfect for family afternoons or small tournaments.

3. Wagon adventures – the practical companion

A wagon is more than transport. With the Folding Wagon KETTLER  Compact, kids can bring snacks, toys or nature finds on every trip. Foldable, easy to store and perfect for longer adventures.
Tip: Use the wagon for an “expedition” – let children collect leaves, stones or little treasures on the way.

4. Trike course – train motor skills through play

Set up cones, ropes or ramps in the garden and turn it into a trike course. With sturdy models like the KETTLER Startrike Air or the KETTLER Funtrike, children practice balance, coordination and motor skills.

5. Swing fun – the timeless classic

Swings never go out of style. With the KETTLER Nest Swing, even several children can swing together. It’s fun, strengthens bonds and creates memories of carefree afternoons.

6. Water action in summer – cool down and move

On hot days, water is the best toy. A hose, water balloons or a small pool transform the garden into a water playground.
Tip: Organize a “water Olympics” – with challenges like sponge throwing, cup transport or a slip-and-slide.

7. Treasure hunt outdoors – adventure for explorers

Hide small clues in the garden or park and let kids search for a treasure. They learn teamwork, problem solving and cooperation.
Idea: Combine it with learning – add questions about nature or small tasks to solve.

Conclusion

Outdoor play means fun, exercise and valuable family time. With products like the KETTLER Kettcar Evolution, the KETTLER K5 Outdoor table tennis table, the KETTLER Folding Wagon Compact, the KETTLER trikes and the KETTLER Nest Swing, every day becomes an adventure.
