I sometimes think we spend too much time indoors in front of computers. I tend to complain about the kids but with a big shame I have to admit I'm also one of those who stare at the computer screen for too long. But when I get outside I like being involved in something that activates not only my body but also my brain. If your requirements are similar, look what I've found.

Sometimes an activity has no other purpose than to be awesome. Outdoor Word Game presented on Better Homes and Gardens definitely falls into this category - if you want the whole family spend an entire afternoon outdoors jogging their brains, you should surely get them into the backyard and surprise them with lawn letters. You can create a crossword or with a few more letters you can play a giant Scrabble game. Once you get tired of thinking, you can always have a rest on your Mini Water Blobs and come back to the game after this nice refreshment.

I'm definitely going to construct this sheer fun game. Are you? Let me know!
