Who says raking leaves can't be fun? Many of us have probably jumped in a leaf pile or two at some point, but take a look at these leaf raking ideas for kids that can give you some ideas for fun outdoor activities in the fall. From building a maze to having leaf raking competitions, use this guide from All Pro Dad and hhgregg for a few ways to spend some time outdoors with the kids.

1. Raking Leaf Fun
GET
bURIED
Let one of your kids lay on
the ground and pile the leaves
on them until they are buried.
Play a practical joke by
having them jump out at
unsuspecting family members
or passersby.
Jumping
Pile
This one is a classic. Build
one massive pile and let your
kids run and jump. Safety tip:
Make sure all sticks and sharp
objects are removed. Getting
impaled will reduce the
amount of fun significantly.
MAKE
It Rain
Take the leaves and throw them
up in the air like confetti falling.
This may be tiring, but it always
ends with everyone lying on
the ground laughing together.
Is there anything better?
Make
A Maze
Rake the leaves into a maze for
your kids to go through. We all
want a beautiful lawn, but some
things are more important. It may
take time and the leaves may
remain on your yard, but your kids
will remember it forever.
King/Queen
of the Hill
Make raking a competition.
Crown the kid that creates the
biggest pile with a desirable prize.
Making it a game will take out
the monotony and replace it
with energy.
