Memorial Day kicks off the unofficial start of summer. But, kids can enjoy the outdoors for a whole week prior to the holiday. The 12th National Backyard Games Week begins the Monday before Memorial Day and ends the Monday of Memorial Day. The week long celebration was introduced by Patch Products to promote physical activity among kids, parents and teachers through participation in backyard games.
This year, National Backyard Games Week is May 18 to May 25. If weather permits, play a different outdoor game each day of the week or enjoy several games on one day. From water games to group games, everyone can participate in National Backyard Games Week.
