Looking for games to play outside this summer? These outdoor games are beyond fun and are so cute they double as outdoor decor!
If you are a regular around here (THANK YOU if you are!) you know that I spent quite a lot of time this Spring getting our screened-in-porch ready for the warm weather. And it paid off! We are spending so much time out there! It’s where we’ve eaten all of our dinners and watched all of our family movies since about March! But now we are turning our attention to the backyard and are planning out where to put a swing or DIY “swurfer” like we made for our old house as well as a slack line. We also want a good spot for our corn hole boards so that we play more often.
All of these plans led to me looking for other fun ways we can spend time outside as a family. Y’all there are only about a zillion fun outside games and equipment to keep little kids and big kids entertained for hours! I put together my favorites into one list. There are so many fun outside games to choose from.
