Traffic Cop
This game allows children to play on their bikes, scooters or anything with wheels. For this game, you should have a small group of three to five. Children should play this game on a street that has little to no traffic. A vacant parking lot or driveway are also ideal for playing Traffic Cop. A parent or guardian should direct "traffic" to make sure the children do not ride into each other. This game helps children learn about traffic safety and about waiting across the street before crossing.
Bike Photo Safari
You need bikes and disposable cameras in order to play this game. This game calls for children to have a picture hunt while riding their bicycles. Before playing this game, make sure children wear a helmet and have a pocket for their cameras. For this game, you should have teams of two or three kids on each. Create a clue list for items that teams need to find. Once they find the items, children must take a picture of the items they find. Take the photos to a one-hour photo shop and wait for the photos to process. Entertain the children by having lunch or dinner. When the photos are ready, study each one to see who took pictures of the correct location. You can also create categories for the most artistic photo, the most locations or the best looking photos. Hand out prizes such as candy, party favors or mini digital cameras.
Marble Drop Bicycle Challenge
Use a large driveway or an empty parking lot to play this game. An adult should be available to look out for cars and to have control of the game. Place empty soup cans on each side of the riding area. Give each player five to ten marbles each. Have each child try to toss his or her marbles into each of the cans as she or he drives by them. Players should earn points for each marble they drop into a can. Use small toys, party favors or pins as awards.
