10+ of the Best Spring Activities & Games Your Kids Will Love

1. Go for a Bike Ride

If your kids have been cooped up all winter, a bike ride is a perfect way to “break the ice” and get back outdoors. Whether they prefer the smooth terrains of your local bike path or like to buzz around the neighborhood on their two-wheeler, getting your kids outside and on their bikes is a physically and mentally rewarding spring activity perfect for any sunny afternoon.

2. Learn to Garden

Looking for a fun spring activity that’s fun, fruitful, and also highly educational? Start a garden! Gardening is an excellent opportunity to teach your kids about the magic of nature, like where healthy foods come from and, more importantly, the effort that goes into growing that food. Plus, it lets them get a little dirty, and what kid doesn’t love that?

Set aside an afternoon to discuss how seeds, sunshine, and water work together to grow food. Show them how to plant seeds and care for a garden that will produce a beautiful bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables. You might be surprised by how much fun they have learning about agriculture! 

We recommend choosing some easy-to-grow options they enjoy, like peppers, cucumbers, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries. You’ll love that this simple spring activity that got them outside will continue to provide food, entertainment, and education throughout the summer and beyond.

3. Take up Hiking

Spring is the season of new life, and taking a hike is one of the best ways to witness that new life in bloom. Hiking during the springtime might be a bit muddy or wet, but it’s certainly not boring. Your kids will love walking through the changing terrain, hearing the birds chirping overhead, and witnessing new life blossom from the ground and trees. 

Make your hike as short and sweet or as long and lax as you have time for. After all, there’s no wrong way to get outside and explore nature! If your kids really take a liking to this popular spring activity, consider starting a hiking routine or plan out future trips to longer trails or taller mountains. You’ll never know what kind of inspiration they’ll get from the experience!

4. Try a New Sport

Looking to create a regular schedule of fun spring activities for your child? Sign them up for a spring sport! With baseball, lacrosse, tennis, and club sports, there are endless opportunities to make new friends and stay active while soaking up the nice weather and sharpening their skills—not to mention, make new friends!

If prior commitments make it hard to commit to a dedicated team, there’s still plenty of games to be played. Pickup soccer, kickball, and wiffleball are three fun options kids throughout the neighborhood will love to join in on. And who knows—maybe these random pickup games will turn into a regular activity for the neighborhood.

Looking for a fun spring activity for kids that includes a change of scenery? A picnic can accomplish both!
