MEMORIAL DAY OUTDOOR GAMES FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS


Bring the fun to your backyard this Memorial Day weekend with yard games for all ages. While you’re grilling up hotdogs and hamburgers, friends and family will be striking up friendly competition – and an appetite.
Here are a few of our favorite backyard games.

I have seen my family play this at our 4th of July parties but have never really played myself.

Wild Gate Sports Stars and Stripes Cornhole Tailgate Toss
You can’t beat a classic! Not only is cornhole a universally appealing game, it’s also easy to teach new or young players – less time teaching, more time playing. Plus, this set features a stars and stripes design that is perfect for your Memorial Day cookout and other events all summer long. Pull it out again later in the summer for the Fourth of July!

Croquet was one of my biggest summer activities with my father, every now and then we even got my mother out to play with us. This is a game I would teach all of my friends how to play when they come over. It is time to buy a set and teach my own children how much fun this game is.

Baden Champions Series Croquet Sets
A croquet set is a summertime staple for backyards large and small. Designed for 2-6 players, we especially like how this set features hardwood mallets with soft rubber grips for comfort. It even comes with a complete croquet rulebook, perfect for new players or rusty ones.

This is another game I would like to add to our outside games. Again I have seen my family play this at parties but have never played myself.

AGame 2017 Classic Ladderball Game 
If you’re looking for a new backyard challenge, this ladderball game fits the bill. Friends and family will appreciate the easy learning curve to this game, but the extra skill involved to getting the golf tosses around the ladders.

Keep kids occupied and active this summer with this selection of our favorite backyard games from DICK’S Sporting Goods. Until 7/29, buy one game and get the second for 50% off. No code needed.

Poleish Sports Bottle Bash Game 
This unique game will put your kids’ skills to the test. Filled with competitive fun and excitement that the whole family can enjoy, Bottle Bash combines the games of disc golf and horseshoes with a few new twists.

MashBall Game Set
This game set offers competitive fun in the backyard, the park, or the beach. Create two teams of two and take turns throwing the ball into the holes. The first team to get to all 10 holes win.

This is another of our favorite beach and backyard games.

OrgoSport OGODISK-XS Game Set
From pool parties to backyard fun, this game set combines all of your child’s favorite games into one. Safe and fun to use, it’s perfect for playing disc golf, catch, baseball, or badminton. Kids can play in teams or individually.

HOSTING ESSENTIALS FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND


Memorial Day weekend is often filled with family and friends gathering together for good food and good times. If you’re planning a Memorial Day backyard BBQ, be sure you have a few essentials on hand to make it a weekend to remember.
Here are a few of our favorite hosting essentials.

Martha Stewart Wood 4-Pc Grilling Set 
If your grilling tools are looking more ‘tired and tarnished’ than ‘tried and true,’ it may be time for an upgrade. This four-piece wood grilling set features everything a grill master could need: a two-pronged fork, a basting brush, a spatula, and tongs, all with a classic rosewood handle and stainless steel finish.
null

Ribbed Glass 2-Gallon Beverage Dispenser with Stand 
This beverage dispenser is sure to be a real crowd pleaser from Memorial Day and beyond. The large 2-gallon clear glass container holds enough liquid to last a couple of hours depending on your number of guests, so you can do more celebrating and less of worrying about beverage duty.
null

Stars and Stripes Burlap Banner
Add some patriotic decor to your Memorial Day BBQ with this handmade banner. Its burlap material adds an authentic feel to your gathering. Grab several and string them across your deck or fence for the perfect party touch.
