Some of the most popular Playsets and the games for the kids are listed below.
1. Flying a kite: A classic activity and one that remains a firm favorite. Most children love to see a kite racing up into the sky. Relatively cheap to buy, they're a great option for parents too.
2. Paddling pools: One sight that many of us associate with the summer months. Splashing around in a pool is so refreshing!
3. Trampolines: These seem to be appearing in so many gardens at the minute and it's not hard to see why hours of fun for the whole family.
4. Football: The simple activities are so often the best, Cheap to buy and increasingly popular with girls too.
5. Climbing frames: They bring out that sense of adventure, as children scramble up these great pieces of equipment. More expensive than some alternatives but great if you can afford them.
6. Slides: Such a simple pleasure but one that many kids enjoy at the park. There are also smaller versions available for your own home.
7. Table tennis: Particularly good for younger children, although it does require a fair bit of space.

8. Swings: As with slides, a playground favorite that is appearing in more and more gardens.
9. Bikes: Most of us enjoyed riding a bike as a child - they make great presents! As we all know, you never forget how to ride a bike once you learn how!
10. Skateboards: Last but by no means least. They gained popularity in the US and soon hit the streets of the UK - they've been enjoyed by many kids ever since!
11. Duck Duck Goose - Kids sit down in a circle facing each other. One person is "it" and walks around the circle. As they walk around, they tap people's heads and say whether they are a "duck" or a "goose". Once someone is the "goose" they get up and try to chase "it" around the circle. The goal is to tap that person before they are able sit down in the "goose's" spot. If the goose is not able to do this, they become "it" for the next round and play continues. If they do tap the "it" person, the person tagged has to sit in the center of the circle. Then the goose becomes it for the next round. The person in the middle can't leave until another person is tagged and they are replaced.


12.Stick Ball - The game is played with a baseball bat and ball usually a tennis ball so we didn't break any windows. There are no teams, just one person up to bat and everyone else in the outfield. The person with the bat tosses the ball up and hits it. He/she then places the bat on the ground in front of him/her. The person who gets the ball rolls it at the bat from the place where the ball was picked up. When and if the ball hits the bat it pops up into the air. If the batter does not catch the ball, the person who rolled it is then up to bat. If someone in the field catches a hit before it touches the ground, they are automatically up to bat.
