Make sure you don't miss our Throwback Weekend!

As we are still in a state of lockdown, we thought we'd take a look at some fantastic garden games that you can play with others in your household, or support bubble. Some may also be suitable to play with your group of six people who can meet up outside, but make sure you always pay attention to social distancing where necessary.

Take a look through these great garden games:

We may receive commission for purchases made through our links.

Inflatable Hawaiian Limbo

A fun game for the family of all ages. With an inflatable version no one will get hurt by a wooden pole landing on them!

Unicorn Spray Pool

Taking the paddling pool to the next level, this Unicorn Spray Pool not only has a great Unicorn design, but it also has space for a garden hose so it can spray water. Perfect for a hot summer's day.

Wooden Garden Croquet Outdoor Game

One of the most traditional garden games around is croquet, this age-old game sees players hitting their ball through hoops which are set out in a particular layout.
These days it's also possible to buy themed sets, such as animals or birds.

Family Pegs And Rope Hoopla

Played like hoopla, you have to throw the rope rings over the pegs which have different scoring values.

Garden Darts

Garden darts is the perfect game if you love darts, but want something to play outside.

Petanque Set (boules)

There are several types of boules around, but this type is one popular in Mediterranean countries, especially France, where they tend to use silver coloured balls.

Giant Four in A Row

Giant Four in A Row is the perfect two-player game for the summer garden. This is a giant version of a childhood favourite, but no doubt most adults will love the giant version too.

Gladiators Baton Duel Game

Although this is advertised as a kids game realistically it can be for any age. For those that remember Gladiators first time around, this is like the duel game, where you have a big baton and try to knock your opponent off their stand.
Gladiators ready!

Jumbo Hi-Tower

Another childhood favourite game made big for the garden is Jumbo Hi-Tower. Consisting of wooden blocks in a tower you take it in turns to remove one without the tower collapsing. Just beware of small kids and pets!
