GEOCACHINGGeocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.
Check out this cool geocaching video. To find Geocaches where ever you might be, visit geocaching.com (there's also an app for that). You have to make an account, and then you can search for caches. Clubs and places for geocaching in Lethbridge. If you're looking for some equipment to give geocaching a try, we have some on loan through our equipment forum! |
GARDENINGGardening is a great summer activity to do at home individually or with the family. Vegetable gardens can save you money on groceries or a flower garden can provide you with fresh flowers throughout the summer months. Never gardened before? No problem! We got you covered.
No space for a garden in your own backyard? That's ok too! There are other options: check out Active Lethbridge to learn more about community gardens. You can rent a garden plot, or volunteer to help maintain other's gardens. |
GIANT CHESSYou will need two players to play giant chess, and the rules are the same as normal chess.
The Galt Museum in Lethbridge has Giant Chess and Giant Snakes and Ladders patio games the public are welcome to play with. |
GIANT SNAKES AND LADDERSHere's a Snakes and ladders board game to play with your friends and family. All you need is a dice and the board game.
To start the game, each player puts their piece on the space that says "start here". Take turns to roll the dice. Move your piece forward depending on the number of shown on the dice. If your piece lands at the bottom of a ladder, you can move up to the top of the ladder, and if it lands on the head of a snake, you must slide down to the bottom of the snake. The first player to get to the space that says 'home' is the winner. |

GOLFGolf is a club and ball sport played on a course with either nine or 18 holes. Players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible.
If you are new to the sport of golf, or if it's been a while, you could opt to head to a driving range instead, and practice your swing with a bucket of balls. Evergreen Golf Centre, Henderson Lake Golf Club and Bridge Valley Golf Course in Lethbridge both have driving ranges. Visit the Lethbridge Sport Council Sport Directory to see all of the golf courses in Lethbridge. |
GROUNDERSThe object of the game is to avoid becoming "it". Whoever is "it" has to try and tag other players on the playground by listening for noise.
