What games do you like to play outdoors?

The summer holidays have started for many, which means time to relax, meet friends and play.

But will you be playing outdoors during the holidays?

A new survey says fewer children are playing outside and a third of children never play in the streets near their home, meaning some classic childhood games are disappearing.

Out of the 2,000 parents asked by Redrow home builders, two thirds said their child played outside for less time than their parents did when they were young.

With a decline in outdoor play, it means traditional childhood games like bulldog, leapfrog or kerbie, could be dying out.

The survey found just 13% of children today have played British bulldog, compared to 36% of their parents, while only 14% have played kerbie, while 30% of their parents did.
