Easy Games to Play at Your Next Barbeque

A great party consists of good food, refreshments, and of course good entertainment. For a barbecue party, this means outdoor games that anyone can pick so you can quickly invite anyone in for the fun. Let’s take a look at some games that’ll make your party a huge hit. 
1.    Capture the Flag
This is always a party favorite. It’ll remind of a time when you were a child playing with your neighborhood friends. You’re never too old to play Capture the flag and you can team up with your kids or play parents versus kids. All you need to play is two bandanas or even some old clothes to fashion the flag.
2.    Hula Hoop Competition
The hulahoop is the perfect game to test how well you can move your hips. Call your friends for some intensive hula hooping section and see who lasts the longest. It can also be quite the workout. 
3.    Three-legged race
You need a great partner to win a three-legged race. Why not grab your spouse and see how well you do together? The three-leggedrace is also a great way to see how in-sync you are with your partner.
4.    Badminton 
This is another outdoor game that is loved by most. Why not set up a net in your backyard and host a friendly badminton tournament withyour family, friends, andneighbors. 
5.    Croquet 
This is another classic game that’s sure to be a hit at any party. You may need to teach your kids how to play this great game so they can join in the fun.
6.    Baseball
Backyard baseball has always, and will always be an American classic. You can set up t-ball for the kids, or throw up some balls for you to hit out friends.
7.    Flag Football
Flag football is perfect for both guys and girls. It is a great way to flirt with your spouse while you both enjoy the nice outdoor weather.
8.    Ladder Golf
In this game, opposing team will take turns in throwing 3 bolas onto varying rungs on a ladder. The first team to make it to 21 points win.
9.    Volleyball
You can play volleyball in your backyard with your family and friends with or without a net. Setting up a net and creating a two-team tournament will add a little friendly competition to the games.
10.  Tug of War
What better way to flex your muscles than with a game of tug of war. Grab a robe from your garage and test your strength against that of the other team. Make sure that both teams are balanced so everyone enjoys a fair game.
11.  Horse Shoes
Another fun outdoor game that’ll bring on some nostalgia. Players take turns tossing a shoe to a stake some distance away. The first person to make it to 15 wins.
12.  Corn Hole
Corn hole or bean bag toss is a simple game that requires a perfect combination of luck and skill. You can make your own set, or buy a set online.
13.  Frisbee Golf
This is a disc toss game that can be played on the backyard. The goal of the game is for players to toss the disc on top of the large cans or into the slot. If you have some Frisbees, and some recycling bins or trash cans, you can put together a basic DIY version of this game.
