Outdoor Summer Games

Well spring is defiantly here and summer is just around the corner. If like my family you have already started having outdoor parties and grilling out. Now you just need some ideas on some things to do for your friends and family.

There are many outdoor games that are made for adults, these types of games tend to be known in one part of the country but not in others. Cornhole (bean bag toss) for instance was only known in Cincinnati Ohio for years. Recently it has been spreading around the country so odds are you already know about this game. Heck, they even had it on our cruise ship a couple months ago! My point is there are games like this all around the country that do not make it as big as Cornhole but is just fun.

Giant Jenga for instance, this is a game I have never heard of until I was on a job in the Turks and Cancos Islands. Giant Jenga is like the classic table top Jenga you find at Wal-Mart. But unlike the boring mini version the life sized game can be so much fun and can be played with as many people as you like.

Cornhole or Bean Bag Toss as mentioned above is a game that just 5 years ago was only known in the Cincinnati area. Though it has been around for years it can now be found in about every part of the country from east to west. This game party game is also known as Hillbilly Horseshoes. Most people make their own boards so they can customize the boards and bags. You will find that many boards are created to rival other friends. You can also find these online and in stores. It is a four person game and you can even play cornhole online to try it out.

Washer Toss is a game that we have not posted on the site here yet but is worth the mention. This is another tailgate gate for the hillbilly.  It consists of a wood box, PVC pipe and large washers. It is a fun game that takes a more skill than you would think. We hope to have this game on the Make at Home site soon.

Beer Frisbee or Beersbee is a newer game to me that we just started playing about two years ago when a friend of the family brought it to our 4rth of July party. Once we played it, I had to make it. This party game takes a little more skill than most other games but it is easy/cheap to make and it is fun. Just think of what is involved, beer of course, Frisbee of course and long PVC pipes. It will take 2 teams of two working together to win this game. For more info on how to play Beersbi click here.

Well that is just a couple ideas on adult party games that can be played at a party. Most any of these can be turned into drinking games. Giant Jenga can be turned into many different versions… Enjoy your summer!
