Best Outdoor Games For a Family Reunion

Outdoor games are a great way to entertain everyone at a family reunion. If you are the host, it is your responsibility to provide hours of entertainment for your guests. Reunions are mostly planned on weekends or during the Summer, when outdoor games are best played. You can have an amazing time if you have a perfect plan when adults and kids come together to play.

The following are some great ideas for low budget games that are great for entertaining a larger group with members of all ages. Several game options are available for your event. Several games are perfect for these gatherings, such as Washer Toss, Ladder Toss, Kubb and Molkky.

Washer toss is another great game for having a lot of fun. There are several washer games to play, such as washer board with three holes, a one hole washer box, one hole platform, or a washer pit. It can be played by different ways and in any of the given ways it is a fun to play.

Ladder toss is a game meant for two to four players. It includes a ladder and a bolo which is a pair of balls that are tied with a rope. The player must throw the bolo towards the ladder, in an attempt to hang the rope on one of the 3 rungs. The rungs are worth different points, and the player must gain scoring of exact 21 points and nothing more than that. You can easily make this ladder with PVC pipe and connectors.

Another game that has a combination of horseshoes and bowling is called as Kubb. This game is a mix of strategy and skill. The player is expected to knock out the opponents' king before the other team does it for yours. It can be played on any available surface such as concrete, grass, tiles, or even on ice.

If you make the games for yourself, it creates more excitement. Molkky is one of the games that you can easily make yourself. All you need is an assortment of wood pieces to play the game, and each should have an approximate diameter of 2 ½". It consists of one Molkky and 12 skittles, which must be of 45 degree bevel at one end. The ideal wood for this game would be cut up tree limbs or landscaping wood. The skittles bear some numbers that are the scores when a player hits the skittle with a Molkky.

Outdoor games are a perfect addition to a family reunion. Most of these outdoor tossing games are perfect for players of all ages. Players young and old can mix together to play a variety of games. Have the most fun at your next family reunion with great games such as Kubb, Molkky, Ladder Toss, and Washers!
