Keeping Kids Entertained During Games
in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
You wake up early on the morning of the big game to make sure the entire family is packed, fed, dressed and ready to go for the day. Most of the day will be spent at the ballpark for an exciting tournament, and your team is ready to play. You mentally go through your checklist of essential items like drinks, snacks, cleats and other sports gear. Suddenly you realize you haven’t packed any entertainment for the smallest but biggest fan – the younger sibling.
Younger siblings need something to do all day at the ballpark between moments of cheering for the team.
3. Board Games
Spread out a blanket on the grass and lay out several board games for the little ones to play. Invite the kids sitting next to you to get on “board,” too. Providing a variety of games will have their brains working and little hands moving all day long. For a wide selection of games and toys, stop by Tanger Outlets to stock up on game-worthy fun.
4. Keep Score
While this option may not be recommended for the official game, having your little one “help” keep score will keep their attention on the game while also allowing them to practice writing their numbers. Pack them an “official scorebook,” aka notebook, and have them help you keep track of who is winning the game. This also makes them feel like they are a part of the big day. Bonus points if they doodle around the score chart or write their team’s name on the top of the page.
