DIY Outdoor Games

Jumbo Jenga

Take one of the classics outdoors. Inspired by the table-top game, Jumbo Jenga is comprised of 54 blocks stacked in three columns and challenges guests to remove a block without knocking over the whole tower. There is a major difference between this version of the game and the original version--the blocks are about ten times bigger! The primary thing you need to create outdoor Jenga is 2x4's. you will need to gather enough wood for 54 pieces that will then be cut into approximately 10 ½ inch long game pieces. Once cut, you may also want to sand the pieces down a bit to make them smoother. Then, stack them outside and let guests play!

Twister

Right leg, blue! Make your own twister board on your lawn! To design it you will need four different colors of spray paint. The original game uses red, blue, yellow and green, but feel free to use whatever colors you want. You will make four columns (one for each color) and six circles of each color. Once your design is finished, you should have 24 circles. If you have extra time you can create your own spin board like the one in the original game that will be used to call out directions. However, a cheaper and just as effective alternative is to write different moves like "right hand, red" on a slip of paper and put them into a jar. Then, you or someone else can draw a slip and call out the instructions as indicated on the sheets.
