Swing Tag
If you’re looking for a fun backyard swing game for kids, look no further than Swing Tag! This game is a twist on the classic game of Tag, but with a swinging twist.

You can keep score to make it even more competitive, or just enjoy the challenge of knocking down as many pins as you can. Swing Bowling is a great way to practice coordination and have fun at the same time.

Swing Simon Says
Put a swinging spin on the classic game of Simon Says with Swing Simon Says. To play, designate one person as the “Simon” and have them give swing-related commands. For example, “Simon says swing high,” “Simon says switch swings,” or “Simon says swing with one hand.” Players must follow the commands while swinging, but only if Simon says “Simon says” before the command. If a player performs a command without “Simon says,” they are out. The last player standing becomes the next “Simon.” Swing Simon Says is a fun way to test coordination and listening skills while enjoying the swings.
Swing Obstacle Course
Create a backyard swing obstacle course for kids to challenge their swinging skills. Set up different stations around the swing set area with various tasks or obstacles. For example, swinging through hula hoops, swinging under a limbo bar, or swinging to knock down targets. Time each player as they complete the course, and see who can finish with the fastest time. The swing obstacle course adds an element of excitement and adventure to swinging, making it a thrilling backyard game for kids.
