Pull up your lawn chair, everyone.
Here are some good outdoor games that are a blast for kids and adults alike and make those spring and summer gatherings a lot of fun. Most are easy to set up and don't take a lot of room, either.
Putting games: Putter Pong is one name for these backyard putting games. It's just what you might expect. It comes with complete with a putter. You putt on a mat and try to get the ball in to the right hole.
Tossing games: The teenagers will be impressed with a tossing game called Giant Yard Pong. You don't have to be a major league pitcher to toss a ball into these bigger versions of Solo cups.
Thinking games: Giant versions of the stacking game Jenga spark a lot of tension as players pull out blocks and stack them on the top of the tower. No one wants to collapse it. And a giant Connect Four game makes a game for just two or two teams while you soak up the outdoor breezes.
Ancient game: They say the vikings played Kubb (pronounced 'koob'), but you don't have to be an ancient invader to play it today. Players toss a lightweight dowel at blocks placed in the yard. The winner is the one who knocks down the king.
