You might be surprised at some of the hottest outdoor family fun games that are out right now. Let’s face facts here: we have spent the better part of this year with limited in-person socializing, many families are now venturing out again, seeking out family fun with such good old-fashioned standbys as gatherings for friends and families, and outdoor BBQs. Of course, while many families used to simply just gather and have cocktails and just shoot the breeze, most of them now want to have outdoor games and activities. Thus, we have rounded up some outdoor games that you can do with the crew that you call family:
Putterball Backyard Golf, $160 with code PUTTER10
Perhaps one of the best things about this game is that it is sort of a combination between golf and beer pong, but you don’t have to drink to play it! Moreover, this is a game that will be loved by all ages, from those that are in preschool to senior citizens. And it’s so easy to describe! Just simply tell your family members that it’s like “beer pong but with golf”! The kit for this game will come with a putting turf with six holes on each side, and the object of the game is take the putters and use them to try to get the balls into each hole before the other team is able to do so.
