Frisbee
This classic game can be played with as few as two players and as many as you have with you. Stand a fair distance apart and fling the disc from person to person. You can get competitive and keep track of who makes the most catches or you can just enjoy the sun and friendship while you toss it back and forth.

Lawn Darts
This game is really fun and it won’t require tearing up the yard to play. All you need is a lawn darts set. You’ll arrange the targets at a set point. You’ll then stand a ways back from them and take turns tossing the darts into the circles. The person with the most darts in the target is the winner. You can play one on one or divide into teams.

Badminton
If you have a couple of rackets and a birdie or two, you’re all set for a lawn game that you’ll never want to quit playing. The object of the game is to hit the birdie back and forth using the rackets without letting it fall to the ground. You’ll get to engage your competitive spirit and the laughs you’ll have with your friends will be definite memory makers.
Whether you're a seasoned player aiming for that perfect drop shot or an amateur just happy keeping the birdie in the air, badminton is a quintessential summer activity. It's easy to set up a makeshift court in your backyard — just a net and you're good to go! The game serves as a fantastic workout, so you can stay active while soaking up the sun. With every smash and rally, you'll be working up a sweat, toning muscles, and improving hand-eye coordination. Get ready for giggles and high-fives as the friendly competition heats up under the summer sky!

Kickball
This is a game that will take you back to your youth. Set up four bases and a pitcher’s mound. Divide your friends into two teams. You play the game much like baseball with each person having a turn to kick and run the bases. The other team will try to get you out. Three outs and you switch. This game is so much fun!

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.
Cornhole
Despite the alarmingly unattractive name of this game, you’ll find yourself having a really good time playing it. The object of the game is to get the bean bag into the target. Scoring is done based on where the bean bag lands on the platform. This is an addictive game that you will want to drag out anytime you hang with your friends.

Washers
This game is similar to horseshoes, though there are various ways to play it. You buy the set and then decide which version you want to play.
