23 Thrilling Glow in the Dark Activities

Sharing is caring!

Nothing says exciting than glow in the dark activities!! One thing I used to love about summer time as a kid was playing night games with the rest of the neighborhood. There’s just something neat about playing outside in the summer when it starts to get darker and the temperature cools down a little.

Combine that with the magic of glow in the dark and you’ve got yourself a really good time. I came across a really fun glow in the dark activity on Pinterest the other day which sparked this fun search of glow in the dark activities that you can do with your kids this summer. Most can be played outside but there are a few that you can play indoors too!
