16 Fun Picnic Games For Adults
5. Backyard bowling alley
If you’re having your picnic in your backyard, where you can build things to last for a while, consider building your own bowling alley for an amazingly fun picnic game challenge! Not only will guests be thrilled to be at your picnic, but watch out—they may even try to invite themselves back soon to use your backyard bowling alley!
6. Outdoor Tic-tac-toe
A portable tic tac toe set designed to be used outdoors is a great choice for a picnic party. Tic-tac-toe is the kind of game that almost anyone can play, and buying a premade game set makes it even easier!
7. Musical picnic blankets
If you’ve ever played musical chairs, musical picnic blankets will make sense to you, too. Lay a bunch of picnic blankets out in a circle, play some music, and have players walk around. When the music stops, everyone will rush to find a blanket to sit on. With each passing round, take away one blanket to make it get harder and harder. The last person on a blanket is the winner!
8. Sack race
This is a classic field day favorite that’ll bring back fond memories of childhood, but that’s still pretty fun for a group of adults (not to mention an intense full-body workout that’ll get your heart rate up and your blood pumping).
9. Three-legged race
Speaking of field day classics, three-legged races are also pretty fun and can be hilarious. Pair up participants, have them tie one of their legs to their partner’s, and watch them race to the finish line!
10. Frisbee golf
Otherwise known as disc golf, this is an incredibly fun outdoor game that will bring lots of energy and excitement to your picnic! Set up a makeshift frisbee golf course with trees, picnic tables, and other natural obstacles near your picnic, and then compete individually or in teams to finish the course in the fewest throws.
11. Picnic bingo
Or how about picnic-themed bingo, played with adorable and aesthetically pleasing bingo cards?
12. Or how about some card games?
Maybe some of your guests would prefer to stick to mostly seated activities at your picnic, and we can’t blame them—there’s something about eating a big meal outside in warm weather that makes you want to kick your feet up and relax! Give these guests a chance to play games by providing them with a few decks of cards and, if needed, the rules for some easy-to-learn card games.
