The Best Lawn Games to Amp Up the Fun This Summer

Take KanJam anywhere you go — the beach, the park, your backyard or tailgating. Once you've divided up into teams, you take turns tossing and deflecting the discs until you reach 21 points, or score an instant win by getting the disc into the thin slot on the front of the game.

Pull out your best Bridgerton impersonation. On the show, the siblings have a not-so-friendly competition of pall-mall (a precursor to croquet) and now you can take on the traditional lawn game, too. This wood set for six has everything you need for a day outdoors including six mallets, six balls, nine wickets and two end posts.

A classic favorite now comes giant-sized for outdoor play. In teams or one-on-one, get four in a row to win. My family bought this years ago and pulls it out for lazy summer days as well as parties. It's easy to assemble, and everyone, from the youngest cousins to grandparents, gets a kick out of it.

Supersized balls and wickets take traditional croquet to the next level and also make it easier for little ones to join in on the game. Make the course as easy or as hard as you want by adjusting the spacing.

Spikeball is a blast anywhere, but particularly on the beach, where sand makes for a softer landing when your competitive side comes out. The two-on-two sport is easy to learn and play anywhere. The foldable legs make it easy to tote to the shore and store away when done.

A childhood favorite is made all the more fun in this jumbo, inflatable version of tic-tac-toe for the pool. The game comes with a game board that can be reversed to show either blue or orange as well as five Xs and five Os. Not only is this set great for land or water play, but it also serves as ultra-fun entertainment for every generation.

This is our family-favorite game that we take to the beach with us every year, but it also makes for a great backyard game. This top-rated set from GoSports has eight elegantly designed resin balls, one resin jack ball, a measuring device and a canvas carrying bag.

Old fashion doesn't have to mean "past its prime." Horseshoes are fun for young and old. The game sets up in seconds and can be made as challenging or easy as you want it to be. This professional-quality set would make a great hostess gift for a summer barbecue.

Try not to be the one that pulls the crashing block! Made from sustainably sourced New Zealand pine, the 56 wooden blocks stack up to 19 levels high and can grow to more than five feet tall while playing. The whole set packs up easily in a zippered tote.

With everything you need to play more than 20 dice games, this all-in-one collection will never get old. Polished and sealed, the dice are weather- and water-resistant so you can cart them to the lake, beach, park or backyard.
