Things to Do Outside
This is a case where you should just go do what your mom always told you to do: Go outside and play! With the wonder of the great outdoors, you should have no trouble at all finding something to do. Doing things outside is part of our genetic makeup. Our ancient ancestors spent most of their time outside; farming, keeping livestock, or other outdoor tasks. Nowadays, we don’t spend nearly as much time outside. We drive in a car to get to our destinations. Supermarkets are almost exclusively indoors. And electricity has made indoor entertainment a booming industry.
So why should you even bother getting outside? Because there are tons of things to do outside! There are a few common sense things that come to mind when you think of going outside. First and foremost, exercise. Just getting up and going outside is a fantastic first step on the road of getting more exercise. The outdoors has endless possibilities for some basic exercise. Walking is widely considered a fantastic form of exercise, and if there’s a park nearby, take a walk through the park. Walk the dog. Toilet paper somebody’s house and make a run for it as fast as you can. Endless possibilities; tons of things to do outside.
You can do yourself a lot of good if you’re outside. Getting a but of sun, which can do wonders for your skin, is on the list of benefits. Just getting outside in the fresh air can make you feel like you have more energy, and rejuvenate you. While there's lots of fun things that you could do inside, don't miss out on what the outdoors could offer you with all the fun things to do outside.

Climb a tree, tell at people from a tree, drop things from a tree, cut a tree. And there’s tons more to think of. If it's a sunny day, go to a park. If it's a rainy day, do play in the rain!
