Garden Games for Children
Games for the garden and the park: throwing and target games, skittles, ring toss, croquet and other lawn games.
The games that come out in summer
A garden game gets a whole group playing within a minute, including grandparents who would never join a running game. Throwing at a target is something a four-year-old and an adult can do side by side. They also fill the awkward hour at a birthday party without anyone having to organise it.
Wood, plastic or foam
Wooden sets look better and last for years if they are brought inside after use, which is the only real upkeep. Plastic and foam versions are lighter, safe for younger children and can be left out in the rain. Check the ground you have, because some games need flat lawn and others work on gravel.
