YARD GAMES

A lush, grassy backyard is the perfect place to square off against your family and friends in a heated volleyball match. CROSSNET ups the ante by combining the games four square and volleyball into a fast-paced lawn game for four players or more.

Fresh air, sunshine, and good company. Enjoying the outdoors with your loved ones is a special treat, a good memory waiting to be made. Whether it's a family barbeque that lasts all night or a day trip to the beach with your friends, outdoor games are always a great way to bond with your group.

Kubb is a game that's easy to learn, is ultra fun, and promotes team building. A hybrid of horseshoe and bowling, Kubb's rules can be modified to create games lasting from 5 minutes to games that continue on for over an hour. As your skills get higher, strategy and precision will be your greatest companions, and the (friendly) competition is on.

If you want the mini-golf experience in the comfort of your own home, PutterBall is the way to go. The felt-lined mat, along with two putters, four golf balls, and six turf hole covers, make it a game that's also portable to bring to a friend's backyard or a nearby park.

When you have a wide grass field or yards of sand for an outdoor game, put up a portable net for an impromptu game of volleyball. If you don't like to bump and serve with your hands, badminton offers a similar experience with a lightweight racket and birdie.

Strikes, spares, and turkeys aren't limited to bowling alleys. Outdoor bowling sets are available for your next backyard get-together and are typically built from weather-resistant materials, too, so they'll last for spring and summertime.

Take bowling to a new level by rolling or kicking an over-sized ball during lawn games of inflatable bowling. The enormous ball knocks over equally enormous pins. It deflates for easy storage and is one of the outdoor activities that is both a fun game and great exercise. Like regular bowling, the player who knocks over the most pins wins. Kids love this.

Outdoor badminton is great fun for the whole family, and maybe a little competitive, either in your backyard or at the beach. A portable outdoor badminton set that includes equipment from the net and poles to the birdies and rackets can make this happen easily and inexpensively.

Each player holds a scoop-like Trackball racket, which is a little reminiscent of Jai alai. One player places the light hollow plastic ball in the scoop racket and tosses it to the other player standing many yards away. The scoop-like racket and the hollow plastic ball enable players of all ages to toss the ball far further than they might expect while also making the ball easier to catch.

Being outdoor games, lawn games are exposed to elements and need to be quite durable. Plastic is a lawn game favorite that can stand up to moisture and sunshine. But for a more eco-friendly option, consider treated wood. Just make sure not to leave it in the rain. Buchanan explains that some games, like Connect Four, come in wooden and plastic versions.

Originally from Chicago, my yard game roots started by playing corn hole (bags) in the backyards and driveways of my friends houses during graduation parties and BBQ's. As I got older my eyes were opened to newer and better games...

What a cool place! Food was delicious and service was friendly! I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was amazing. We sat in a cabana, so the kids could play in the gameyard after walking across the big four bridge. I would highly recommend if you're on the KY side, walking the bridge and stopping here for lunch! Maybe swing by Schimpp's for dessert.

My family and I went to union game yard today for Mother's Day. The staff was helpful, timely, and the environment was great. My children were able to play in the game yard while we waited for our food, and our meals were all delicious. This is one of the best spots to eat during the summer, especially with large groups or families.

Yard games can help bring family and friends together to compete in their favorite yard game. In an era where we are glued to our phones, getting outside and playing yard games with your loved ones could be one of the most important national days that you celebrate.

Why is this day being celebrated or observed? Being outside with friends, playing yard games, and smiling should be celebrated. There is nothing quite like playing a round of cornhole with your friends in the backyard while having a cold beverage. In our recent survey we learned that the majority of even casual yard game players enjoy playing yard games, most frequently, in June and July. We wanted the first day of summer to be the annual trigger to remind people to get outside and get their yard game on.

How should this day be celebrated or observed? Observe this day in your yard! Pull out your favorite yard games and invite your friends over for a friendly game. Fire up the grill, crack open a cold beverage, pump up some music and then let the yard games begin.

Frisbee is one of those timeless games that just feel like summer. When I was a kid, I would toss a frisbee to my dog for hours, and it was absolute bliss. These days, I love this set of ring-like active flyers that my kids try to use not only with each other but to toss at tree branches or sticks they poke in the ground. They make up all kinds of imaginative games with these things.

I still remember my grandfather tossing those clunky metal horseshoes at a stick in the ground that seemed a mile away. When it was my turn, he would stand right behind me and coach me on how to aim and how to be patient while I learned the slow but addictively fun game. Turns out you can create a pretty simple horseshoe set up in your own backyard for under $40.

I'm actually fairly new to yard games. At most parties I attended as a kid, the adults drank cocktails while the kids played tag and other classic games (mostly unsupervised, until someone started crying ... ha).

Even though I never played cornhole until I was in my twenties, I've grown to love these awesome backyard games for adults and kids. Of course you can buy these games, but it's totally possible to make your own DIY yard games, too.

And if you don't have the time or inclination to make your own DIY backyard game, I've got something for you, too! I've included my favorite classic summer yard games that you can buy at the end of the post.

One week after piling up 237 yards receiving against the Steelers, the Browns wide receiver scorched Jacksonville's defense for another 261 off 10 catches in Cleveland's 32-28 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium. Gordon is the first player in NFL history to post back-to-back 200-yard outings.

The subject of trade rumors earlier in the year, Gordon also became Cleveland's first 1,000-yard receiver since Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow both accomplished that in 2007. With six 100-yard outings in 2013, Gordon has emerged as a bona fide deep threat and one of the game's more electrifying receivers.

Cornhole is a classic lawn game that often makes an appearance at backyard parties (or even weddings!) but is just as much fun to play at the beach or park. This sturdy outdoor set doesn't require any tools for assembly and is water-resistant for extra durability.

Bring mini golf to your own backyard with this full set that doubles as a unique beer pong game. It comes with everything you need (minus the beer!): two putters, two golf balls, the golf mat, and hole covers.

Golf meets cornhole in this fun outdoor game. Set up your Chippo boards on the beach or in the backyard for hours of fun! Use the chipping mats to putt your ball into the hole and earn points for every shot.

When I was a kid, we played outside with the other kids in the neighborhood with most of our free time. We also made the most of recess at school. We kept ourselves quite occupied without any of today's modern technologies. Listed below are some no-tech games that you may have enjoyed as a kid. I sure did. Some can be done indoors. Some can be done by yourself or with just one friend. But most of them are best when done outside with a group of people. Also, most of these games can be changed or improved by making up your own rules. Use your imagination! 041b061a72
