DealDash Plays: Summer BBQ Games
When you think about the phrase “playing games outside” you probably immediately thought of kids. However, there are lots of fun games that you can play outside for kids and adults alike.
If you’re going to be having a few cook outs this upcoming summer you are probably going to have both kids and adults in attendance. Here are a few games that are fun that everyone can play together. Hey, you might even be able to beat the kids at one or two of them!
Treasure Hunt
Treasure Hunt is really fun and easy to play for kids or adults, you don’t even have to know how to read! Before the party starts the host makes up a simple pictorial list of things that are easy to find outside in the yard during your BBQ, such as a leaf, a can of soda, a plastic fork, a flower, etc. The first person to find and bring back all of the items on the list is the winner.
Bocce Ball
Bocce is a classic outdoors game that your grandparents probably played at parties when they were young. It can be played on grass or on the beach. Bocce balls are fairly heavy, the average is 2 pounds, which might be a little heavy for some of your younger guests, so be sure to pair-off your teams fairly! Little kids who are too young to play will get a kick out of tossing the “pallino,” which is what little ball that is used as the target is called.
Horse Obstacle Course
Play Horse Obstacle Course and let your guests compete to have the fastest time on a backyard obstacle course. Set up a course featuring bales of hay, snake stuffed animals, and even cardboard rodeo clowns as obstacles. Require each player to ride a broomstick horse around the objects and back across the finish line to complete the race.
Croquet
Croquet is a yard game that I fondly remember playing when I was a kid at family parties. Croquet involves hitting plastic or wooden balls with a mallet through hoops that are called “wickets” that are set up by sticking them into your lawn.
I hope that these games sound like fun to you. If you are going to be hosting some cook outs this summer I suggest that you head on over to DealDash and pick up some grilling accessories, or even a new grill!
