Summer is the perfect time to gather friends and family for outdoor parties and celebrations. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, a birthday bash, or just a weekend get-together, outdoor games can add excitement and entertainment to your event. In this blog post, we’ll explore a variety of safe and enjoyable outdoor games that are perfect for summer parties.
Make your summer parties a blast with these seven safe outdoor games that everyone will love:
- Water Balloon Toss: On a hot summer day, there’s nothing like a water balloon toss to cool everyone off. Fill balloons with water, form pairs, and take turns tossing the balloons back and forth. The goal is to see who can go the longest without breaking their balloon.
- Three-Legged Race: This classic game is all about teamwork. Pair up participants and have them stand side by side, each with one leg tied to their partner’s leg. The teams then race to the finish line, hopping along together. It’s a hilarious and fun challenge that’s perfect for all ages.
- Cornhole: Cornhole is a popular lawn game that involves tossing bean bags into a raised platform with a hole. It’s easy to set up, and players of all skill levels can enjoy it. You can even have a friendly cornhole tournament at your summer party.
- Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items for your guests to find around your outdoor space. You can tailor the list to match your party’s theme or location. Provide small prizes for those who complete the hunt first.
- Hula Hoop Contest: Challenge your guests to a hula hoop contest. See who can keep the hula hoop spinning the longest. You can even have a “freestyle” round where participants can show off their hula hoop tricks.
- Tug of War: Set up a tug of war competition with a sturdy rope and a clear dividing line. Split your guests into two teams and see who can pull the rope past the center marker first. It’s a test of strength and teamwork.
- Limbo: Get the party grooving with a limbo contest. Use a pool noodle or a rope as the limbo stick, and see how low your guests can go without falling over.
