We work hard all week long and during the summer, the weekends are when we get to play. As you plan your summer invites for your next get together with your friends and family, incorporate some great adult outdoor games into your day. It’s a great way to have fun with everyone and decompress from a long work week! These games are also great for family reunions, company picnics or any day there’s fun to be in the summer sun!
Capture The Flag
Capture the flag isn’t just for kids! With adults, the course can become more elaborate and therefore a bit more intense! With flag guards, attackers and defenders, there’s a role for everyone. This is a great game to play on camping trips where there is a variety of terrain and hiding places Check out this refresher on how to play.
Flag Football
Flag football is always a lot of fun to play when getting together in the summer. Make sure to divide teams up fairly evenly so that each team has a good mix of skill levels. Try playing it the beach or in your favorite neighborhood park. Get team jerseys (or make them with colored shirts and fabric pens or iron decals). For those who don’t feel like playing they can act as the cheer squad, crazy fans or even a referee! It’s really fun for the whole family!
