Even though certain places are starting to open back up, global health concerns haven’t disappeared. People are still getting sick, and certain communities are bringing in a record number of positive cases. So, it makes sense if you’re still a little iffy on that beach vacation.

While it’s a bummer to cancel summer plans when Spring was already more or less canceled, keeping our neighborhoods safe is one of the most important ways we can fight this. But, here’s the good news. There are plenty of ways we can make our homes more fun and exciting for the kids. It might not be the same, but let’s face it — it’s much better than nothing.

Can you remember back in the day when all you wanted was a Slip ‘N Slide, but your parents said no? You can relive that moment with your kids, and watch them revel in the fun of saying yes. Even very small backyards can turn into a mini water park with the right tools. If you make the most of sunny days, your home is bound to feel less cramped — and your kids will likely have a summer they’ll always remember.

It’s also kind of thrilling to see your kids playing in your yard. With technology improving the way it has in the last two decades, it’s become more of a rarity. So, you might be able to relive some of your own summer childhood memories by making your background more summer-friendly.

Here are nine great yard activities and games for your kids this summer. Most of these are even more exciting than the beach.
