Check out these fun backyard games?
Backyard games are more than just games. They make memories. Some of my best childhood memories came from my Uncle’s house when the entire extended family got together once a year. He went out of his way to make sure that his backyard was a place you want to be. There were at least 50 people at these events and the adults had just as much fun as the kids.
There was always a volley ball net set up. He also had a popcorn machine that he rolled out after we ate. We even played softball (He had a big backyard). We looked forward to it all year. He always had something new to do every year.
Even though we may not have a yard as big as his, their are many backyard games you can play that are fun for the young and old alike.
Here are some easy and inexpensive ideas to make your next outdoor get-together a memorable one. Check out these fun backyard games for the whole family to enjoy.

Sohpie, I think we should encourage our kids outside more. Be even if you are entertaining, you do not have to spend money on games!!!
Alana, I grew up in the 50’s too. People don’t realize that you do not have to spend money to have games. I am glad you enjoyed.
Simple, but effective and it encourages children to play outdoors 🙂 I love croquet!
I love this! Games that don’t involve electricity or modern technology (well, except for the glow sticks but they are simple and inexpensive). Remember so many games of my childhood of the 1950’s – jump rope, hotchskotch, playing ball, etc.. thanks for bringing back some of the memories. We need a lot more of this kind of creativity.
