Outdoor Party Game Ideas

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

Summer time is a great time for cookouts and parties on your patio while hanging out in the sun. Having summer parties is part of what makes summer, summer. When having friends over, it is always great to have some outdoor games to go along with the food and beverages. There are a very wide range of games that you can consider for your next party ranging from classic horseshoes to newer bean bag games.

Croquet is a classic game that can be quite fun especially if you put into place house rules. Croquet traditionally uses mallets to maneuver balls through a course of arches. Whoever gets in the least amount of hits, wins the game.

Another great option is frizbee golf. This uses a cage basket as the “hole”. You place this in your yard and the goal is to land the frizbee in the net. If you want to make it more challenging, place the goal behind different obstacles in your yard. Frizbee golf is such a fun game, you might find yourself looking for local frizbee golf courses in your area.

Another game that is becoming classic is beanbag games. A threehole beanbag toss can be great fun in a party situation. Even kids can play these games if the boards are put closer together. The further the boards are seperated the more challenging they become. You can keep score and have door prizes for the winner of the games.

Another game that has become popular lately is Ladder golf. You toss a set of balls that are connected by a string and try to look them around a run of the ladder. Each rung has a different point value and the player with the highest score wins.

Outdoor games can really liven up your party. Go ahead and try a few games and see how the guests enjoy themselves.
