Time to Play! 5 of the Best Games for Your Garden Tournament

You're planning on having a party at your house, but why keep the party inside? It's time to have some fun outdoors.

Your activities shouldn't be limited to video games or movies. There are plenty of more exciting games to be played outside.

Don't know how to entertain your guests? Here are five of the best outdoor games that are perfect for your friends and family:

1. Badminton

If you're looking for backyard games for kids and adults that gets everyone involved, look no further. A badminton tournament is a great way to bring the party together. All you need to do is set up a net, and buy some rackets and birdies.

Separate the party into teams of two to four people. Don't forget to create some makeshift boundaries to help you determine when the birdie is hit out of bounds.

When you have a badminton tournament, you need a prize at the end. Getting a personalised trophy with a custom engraving can make the competition even more exciting.

2. Capture the Flag

Capture the flag is a fantastic teamwork-based game that's even better if you have a large property to play it on. The strategic planning that's involved makes it one of the best field day games for adults.

Learning how to play capture the flag is simple. You need to create two teams, and you need to have a space large enough to have plenty of hiding places. Each team needs its own flag colour, and they have to hide it somewhere in the yard. After everything is set up, it's time to play.

3. Hula Hoop Contest

If you're looking for yard games for kids, don't underestimate the excitement and simplicity that comes along with a hula hoop contest. Each kid will need their own hula hoop--the player who hula hoops the longest wins. Using engraving services to create trophies for the winner can motivate the players to keep twirling even longer.

4. Wiffle Ball

Wiffle ball is one of the most well-known lawn games for adults and kids alike. It's played just like baseball, but the equipment is a bit different. The bat is much lighter than a regular baseball bat, and it also uses a plastic ball that contains several openings.

Some wiffle ball players prefer to have ghost baserunners instead of actual runners, but the rules are up to you and your party.

5. Tug-of-War

Who doesn't love a good game of Tug-of-War? It's the ultimate test of strength. That's what made it land on our list of the best yard games for kids and adults.

When making teams, try to balance it out a little. Having five muscular people on one side is definitely unfair for the five kids that are on the other side of the rope.
