Great games for outdoor parties

Outdoor parties are a great occasion to have games planned for the children and the adults. Most of us have games we played as children, and now with our own family, we will want to pass on those much-loved activities to our children. Also, sharing these loved games with others outside our family can help spread our joy to our friends and neighbors. The best idea is to have several options of different physical intensity, so that those who wish for a more gentle activity level can also join in on the fun.

Here is an assortment of games that we can play outdoors which will delight the young and old alike.
