Fun Backyard Game Ideas

Ghost in the Graveyard

This one's best played on a gloriously moonlit summer night. (Don't forget the bug spray.) Start off by picking someone to be the "ghost" -- it might as well be you. Hide while the kids count to 100 at the "base." Then they fan out in search of the ghost. When one of them discovers your ghastly hiding place, he yells, "Ghost in the graveyard!" and all the kids sprint back to base. The child you catch becomes the new ghost.
