Most of the kids nowadays are more attracted to the gadgets over outdoor activities, and many of them entirely avoid outdoors. Over time this could affect their social life, so, as parents, we have to introduce them to everything we possibly can.

There are plenty of activities which can make our kids get close and excited about outdoors. Here are 5 activities to make your kids excited about outdoors and forget about their mobiles and games.
