Don’t forget Southern classics like crochet and cornhole, but beware—competition could get fierce!

 

Soak up the sweet days of summer by staging an old-fashioned game day on the grass. These DIY lawn-game ideas will provide fun for the whole family all season long.

Put a homemade spin on a classic carnival with a gathering to amuse all ages. You probably have most of the makings on hand—classic Coke bottles for ring toss, tin cans to stack and knock down, a galvanized bucket for bobbing for apples.

Pull nostalgic game favorites like bingo and backgammon from the closet, and set up a giant-size version of Jenga for plenty of suspense—and laughter.

For an extra fun surprise, set up an old-fashioned photo booth (we rented ours from Magic City Photo Booths). It underscores the carnival atmosphere and frees up snap-happy guests to enjoy the party.

Whether you’re planning a game-themed outdoor gathering or simply need an impromptu day of family fun under the summer sun, these delightful diversions will fit the occasion.
