Have you ever played this game before? Well, it is a lot of fun and is designed for kids but adults will have a blast playing it too! Players sit in a circle on the ground.
One player goes in the middle of the circle of players and calls out “duck, duck, goose!”. The players will then either say “duck” or they will run around the circle trying to avoid being touched by the player in the middle.
If you are caught, you are now it! This game is tons of fun for all ages.
2. Catch Phrase
This game is similar to Pictionary. The game will have you and another person teaming up against the rest of the players. Players take turns drawing clues for their partners to guess what they are drawing or saying. If your partners can’t guess what you are making, then they lose a point.
This game is great because it gives players opportunities to learn each other’s personalities more in-depth.
3. Slamwich
This is a card game that has been very popular for many years. In these games, players try to earn the most cards by putting them in sets of threes called “sandwiches”.
The game includes three rounds and players have to put down all their cards during each round before the timer runs out. Players have to put down three cards of the same type and then they place a fourth card on top of them. They do this again but with six cards, then nine cards.
Outdoor Party Games
Games like badminton, frisbee golf, and horseshoes can be played outside and don’t require too many instructions or strategies. These games allow everyone to enjoy the weather and have fun regardless of win or lose.

6. Capture the Flag
This game is for everyone, except for those who don’t like getting dirty! Capture the flag is just as it sounds. Two teams fight to capture each other’s flags. The flag is typically hidden out of sight so that it is a challenge for both teams.
