Here are the Allison Homes top 10 classic garden games for you to enjoy this summer.
- Quoits – the classic deck game of hand and eye coordination where you try to get rope hoops over pegs to score points.
- Skittles – another classic and there are several versions of the game available online.
- Rounders – rounders is a great game but you will need to have some space to play. If there isn’t enough room in the garden, why not nip down to the local park?
- Kwik Cricket – this is also a great game for all the family but, like rounders, you’re going to need some space to play in.
- Giant Snakes and Ladders – the kids will love this classic game, upsized with a sticky board just for outdoors. There are also versions with inflatable game pieces available.
- Croquet – this might sound painfully posh, but it’s a lot of fun to play, especially if you are having a few friends around for an al fresco party.
- French Cricket – this is a favourite with younger and older children alike and you won’t need anywhere near as much space as you will for Rounders or Kwik Cricket.
- Giant Jenga – using giant wooden blocks making ‘tumble towers’ is a lot of fun. There are several versions of this classic available online.
- Twister – Twister is a classic party game and ideally suited for playing outside on the lawn. Guaranteed to liven up any BBQ.
- Swing Ball – this is a fun game for the competitive members of your family. You could have your own Wimbledon knock out in your own back garden.
