Picnic Games
Eat outside
If you’re organising an outdoor party, then picnic games should be on the agenda. You can spend a lot of money taking your children to an amusement park but for a fraction of the cost you can have as much fun enjoying a picnic closer to home. |
In this era of endless television, video games and computers, a picnic is a welcome change for most of us and a few well thought-out activities can go a long way to making a picnic a huge success.
If you have enough people at your picnic you can organise team games, such as a sack race.
For large groups of children or young adults icebreaker games are a fun way of getting introduced to everyone.
Alternatively divide into teams or pairs for a treasure hunt.
For teenagers and grown-ups
a limbo contest
is fun and very entertaining. Find out how flexible everyone is!
Depending on the number of guests, you can coordinate a variety of entertainment. You’ll need to consider the amount of space available and the sort of ground.
If, for example, you have a large expanse of grass in a park, you may want to organize a game of croquet, boules or lawn skittles and everyone can join in.
Want to know the rules for croquet (or any other outdoor game)? Jump over to Alex's site for a
croquet overview.
When it’s time for a break from running around, something more relaxing is the order of the day.

The alphabet game Going On A Picnic is a good way to calm down the children and young teens.
Another quiet pastime is to draw portraits of each other on paper plates. This is fun for guests of any age and ability.
According to Jean, a visitor to this site from the USA, who was looking for picnic games for a Mother & Daughter picnic, “Drawing portraits of each other on paper plates is a blast”.
Small prizes can be given to the best portraits, or the funniest!
Picnic games in the garden, a park or on the beach can be a great way to unwind from the grind of everyday life and put aside our adult responsibilities for a while.
Enjoy!
