The Best Yard Games

Updated for Summer 2025! There’s no better way to spend time outside than playing some great yard games with your family and friends. Both Adam and I grew up playing yard games with our families and it’s a tradition we’ve continued to enjoy all throughout the warm summer months. Honestly, one of the best parts of our move to the south was the near year round ability to play many of these games! Growing up, Adam played a lot of corn hole, (or bags as we call it!) while I grew up playing some intensely competitive games of croquet. Over the years we’ve added numerous new yard and lawn games to our collection which has been great for getting our whole family outside and having fun together and with friends! If you’re looking for a fun way to spend these warm summer days ahead, these are some of our favorite yard games! Fire up the grill, call over your friends, and get ready for a fun night! Find all these and more of our favorite yard game items on our Amazon Storefront. The Best Yard Games Molkky It’s like outdoor bowling but better, trust me. We love how this game is growing in popularity! Kubb A lawn game inspired by the Vikings! Croquet I love how croquet is both a game of skill and strategy. It can be cutthroat all while giving you that Nancy Meyers Summer feel! Cornhole It’s not summer until the bags set comes out! (See this post for how we made our own set!) Bocce Ball Fun at home, the park, the beach, or even an official court! Jazzminton This can be played indoors and outdoors and is TONS of fun! Giant Spot it!
