Our Top 10 Favorite Lawn Games

The weather is still warm and your kids have been looking at their screens for way too long. It’s time to get everyone outside to have a little fun! You’ve played plenty of games indoors, but now it’s time for family game night to happen in your yard. From games your kids will love to a few that will become new adult favorites, here are the lawn games that will make playing outdoors fun for the whole family.

Spikeball Game

A combo of four square and volleyball, Spikeball will get kids and parents moving and having a blast outside. It’s easy to set up, easy to learn, and everyone will love this fun and fast-paced game.

BUY IT: Amazon, $64

Scatter Yard Game

This may be a yard game you aren't familiar with, but you’ll want to play all summer long. There are two ways to accumulate points: add the numbers on the pins you knock down or add the total number of fallen pins. There’s some strategy to this game and it can get competitive for everyone playing.

BUY IT: Amazon, $40

Ring Toss

This game is perfect for big or small spaces. Just set it up and start tossing rings to see who the winner is.

Flarts

The name is silly and we’re pretty sure your kids will love playing with these extra large inflatable darts. One side of the mat is a target and the other is either a monster or unicorn, so pick whichever Flart you are feeling!

Checkers

If you love checkers, then take the game to the yard. Set up this rug that doubles as a board and use the pieces to play a few rounds of this old family favorite.

Ladder Toss

A great game for kids and adults! To play, toss the balls and try to wrap the rope around the PVC towers. Sounds easy, right? However, it gets trickier with each toss.

Cornhole

We love a good cornhole game, but this set makes the game even better. The boards are waterproof, they light up at night, and they are easy to pack up and store when the game is over.

4 In a Row

Play on a table or in the yard, this giant 4 in a row game is one the entire family can play. It also comes with a carrying case, so you can move it inside and outside or take it on the go.

Backyard Bowling

Skip the bowling alley and set up a game in your backyard. Each set comes with ten pins, two balls, and a carrying case to store everything when the game is over.

Yard Pong

Your family will love this simple, yet fun game. Just set up the buckets and take turns trying to sink the balls in. Whoever has the last bucket remaining is the winner!
