#1 The Classic Jenga Game
The nail-biting game of Jenga is full of fun and is one of the best games to play in your garden or backyard with friends or family. The fun increases manifold when you supersize the game.

Mostly, the Jenga game kit consists of around 56 interlocking blocks or timber. You and your team can build a giant tower of different levels extending up to 5 feet. However, beware of where you poke or prod. Otherwise, all it comes crashing down!
#2 Tipsy Topple Jello Shot Tower-A Twist In Classical Jenga
Are you searching for a game that will get you tipsy and keep you entertaining for hours? If yes, the Tipsy Topple-Giant Jello Shot Tower game is a perfect choice! Not only for your backyard, but this traditional Jenga game with a twist is also great for weddings, family game night, tailgating, bbq’s, bachelorette party, etc.

It is more like a drinking game. The players take turns to remove the wooden blocks and stack them back on the top. You may get a little tipsy along the way. Just like Jenga, Tipsy Topple’s winner is the one who stacks the block without letting the tower fall over. With the booze factor, things may get messy yet fun!
#3 Dibble
Another classic outdoor game to play with your family and kids this summer! In this game, the players stand at the edge of the swimming pool with their backs turned to water. One of the players will place a whiffle ball, popsicle stick, or other buoyant objects at the pool’s bottom and then leaves the pool.
As the player leaves the pool, other players will try to spot the ball in the pool. Whoever finds the ball, wins! The enthralling hunt and waiting period is what makes the game more interesting.
#4 Four Square
The game’s court is a giant square with four equal squares inside it. One person will occupy each of the small squares. One square is marked the top square, then a second-place square, third and fourth.

The player standing in the top square will hit the ball into the other square. If this is your square, you need to hit the ball into any other square before it bounces twice. If the ball hits twice, you are out of the game.
#5 Pickle
Designate two bases. It can be anything from shoes to real bases. Then, choose the two throwers, and everyone else is a runner. The throwers will toss the ball back-and-forth. The runners will try to get from base to base safely without being tagged. The last one who is left alive wins!
Though biking, rock climbing, scuba diving, etc. are the must-try fun activities after COVID19, outdoor games like Pickle are a must-try while you are at home.
#6 Four Corners
The court is the same as the ‘Four Square’ game. The only difference is that the runners stand on the four bug corners, and one person stands in the middle. Players in the corners will try to swap before the person standing in the middle can get to either of the corners.
If the player standing in the corner reaches the corner, the player they stole it from will shift to the middle position. It is truly a non-stop thrill ride unless you are in the middle.
While there are many other outdoor games, these are the simplest ones you can play even with your kids. Try out any of the fun games mentioned above; you’ll love the healthy competition they offer!
