The Best Outdoor Games

If you’d like to know more about any of the games is:

Cornhole
This is an extremely popular outdoor game that originated in the Midwest and has spread like wildfire. There are several other names for it: Tailgate Toss, Baggo, Chuck-o. Quite similar to horseshoes, you have two teams with teammates on opposite sides throw bean bags filled with corn onto a raised platform that has a circle cut out for a goal. If you make it in the hole it’s three points and if you make it onto the board it’s one point. Teams take turns throwing and the first to 21 wins. This game is great because you can stand around, chat and drink a beverage while you’re playing and once you get good at it it’s a pretty quick game.

Ladderball
Also known as blongo ball (weird right?) this game has the same “horseshoes style” approach that you have the two teams, take turns throwing, play to 21, etc. What makes this game so unique is that you take two golfballs connected by a string (in a bolo type fashion) and throw it to a target that has three rungs (much like a ladder) so that the rope wraps around one of the rungs. The scoring works much the same that you get three points for the top rung, two for the middle and one for the bottom. This game is much more challenging than cornhole and everyone’s got their own technique.
