Outdoor Games for Adults



Capture the Flag

This is a very exciting game to play outdoors, but it requires a lot of room and it's better with a lot of players. The best way to play in a standard yard is to use the driveway and "No mans Land". Break up into two teams and each team picks a side of the yard and woods that they want to defend. Each team also has a Flag that they must hide and guard (recommended) in the woods of their side. Boundaries should be set before the game begins. Once both teams have hidden their flag the game begins. The object is to capture the other teams flag and bring it back to your teams side. The trick is that when you are in the other teams territory they can tag you, and if they do they have escort you to "jail". They must escort you to jail and cannot tag anyone else along the way. There is only one jail spot per side and the players in jail are free when someone on their team tags each of them. No one can be tagged in "No mans Land". This is an intense outdoor game to play!



Pickle


Pickle is a fun game to play outdoors if it's nice out! It's very similar to a "pickle" situation in baseball. Set up 3 bases in a triangle and a person stays on each base. There will be 2 runners and 3 throwers. The throwers start tossing the ball back and forth until one of the runners decide to go! The object of the game for the runners is to get points. One point for each time they steal a base. The throwers obviously try to tag them with the ball and get them out. Throwers cannot throw the ball at the runner to get them out.
