As the weather warms up, more and more of us are moving outside to enjoy the sun and recreational possibilities that were otherwise out of the question during the cold months. As camping, tailgate parties, backyard BBQ’s and more become staple weekend activities, people are searching for fun and exciting activities. As a result, lawn games such as Bocce Ball and Croquet become popular amongst players of all ages.

Not only are lawn games a great way to get your family outdoors, they are perfect for P.E. and recreational clubs. Games like horseshoes, ring toss, Bocce Ball, and Croquet test your aim and accuracy and help develop hand-eye coordination. While these classic games bring back fond memories of outdoor summer fun, new popular games are transforming backyards, campsites, and tailgate parties everywhere.

One example is BlongoBall. Very much like ladder ball and bolo toss, BlongoBall requires 2 BlonGoals, 2 BlongoBalls, and is made for 2 players or teams. The BlonGoals are PVC ladder-like frames that feature 3 rungs.  Simply stand 25 feet away from the BlonGoals and toss the BlongoBalls, which are 2 smaller balls attached to by a string, towards the BlonGoals. Each rung of the BlonGoal is worth a different value. The first is worth 1 point, the second is worth 2 points, and the third is worth 3 points. Bounce the ball off the ground onto the ladder for a whopping 5 points! The first player to reach 21 first without going over is the winner! But be careful! Other players can knock off your BlongoBalls causing you to lose points.

Blongo Washers is very similar to a bean bag toss game. It requires 2 game boards and 2 sets of 3 washers. The Blongo Washer boards stand in a slanted position and contain 3 holes. Place the 2 boards 6 feet apart so that they are facing each other. Stand behind one box and try to toss your washers into the 3 holes on the opposite game board. Each hole is worth a different value. The closest hole is worth 1 point, the middle is worth 2, and the farthest hole is worth 3 points. The first player to reach 21 without going over is the winner! When you’re done, the boards latch together and feature carrying handles for maximum portability!

Lawn games are fun for all ages and are usually portable, so you can take them to any party or outdoor activity. Guests will crowd around and be entertained for hours as they toss their way into a good time. So, put down the game controller, turn off the TV, put on some sunblock and have some outdoor fun this summer with a quick and easy-to-learn lawn game!
