At Skate World Deer Park, we know the skating rink is a great place to spend some time with your family. Next time you’re skating with your loved ones, try these games to make it even more fun! We might even play one of them during our next open skate hours! 

• Relay Races. Turn racing into a cooperative game by racing in teams! Make sure to match up skaters of similar age, so that young kids aren’t racing in the same lap as adults.
• Freeze Tag. This variation on tag makes things a little more interesting. One person is “It,” just like normal, and when they tag someone, that person has to freeze. Another skater can then tag the frozen person to “Unfreeze” them. If everyone gets frozen, the person who is “It” wins!
• Four Corners. This game starts with everyone skating in a circle, as usual. Each corner gets a number. When the music stops, the designated person closes their eyes and everyone skates to one of the corners. The designated person calls out a number, and everyone in that corner is eliminated. The game continues until only one person is left, and that person wins!
• Limbo. Roller skates add a unique challenge to this classic game. Make sure not to touch the bar or the ground–that’s how you get disqualified.

Not a great skater? No worries! At Skate World Deep Park we also offer lessons! These skating games will bring your family together and help everyone get active while having fun.
