There are plenty of outdoor games for families with adults and kids of all ages. While most games have sets of rules to follow, rules are sometimes meant to be broken when fun is the top priority. Here are some of the most fun outdoor games for the family—ones with flexible rules and plenty of variants to explore:
Mölkky: The object of the game of Mölkky is getting the highest score by hitting pins. You throw a baton at the pins and earn the point value of the ones you knock down. Since kids are still working on their aim, encourage rolling as well as throwing to increase their chances of knocking down pins.
