Pictionary
A fun, classic drawing game, suitable for lots of age groups and lots of occasions. This post also includes some printable pictionary word lists for you.
Invisible frisbee
This game is just what it sounds like: playing catch with an invisible frisbee. Don’t worry, it’s way fun, and also easily played anywhere because you don’t need any special equipment, other than a good imagination. 😉
Watermelon
Watermelon is a fun pool game for older kids or teens. Basically like football, but in the water, and with a watermelon instead of a football. Doesn’t that sound fun already?
Capture the flag
Capture the flag is a classic; a great outdoor game, especially fun at night; perfect for big groups, family reunions, or church youth activities.
In the manner of the adverb
This is a great party game for older kids, teens, or adults. A game that makes grammar fun! 🙂 (Well, this game really isn’t related to grammar much; more like a more fun version of charades.)
Glow-in-the-dark dodgeball
One of my all-time favorite games, glow-in-the-dark dodgeball is intense and active, gets your adrenaline pumping, and makes you feel all cool and sneaky. Awesome.
Monkey see, monkey do
A simple, kind of silly game. Perfect for a big group of younger kids (or older kids, too). 🙂
The alphabet game
The classic car game: players look for words that start with each letter of the alphabet. A great way to pass the time on a road trip (as long as you’re not driving exclusively through the plains of Wyoming or something).
Dibble dabble
Dibble dabble is a great game to play in the pool: fun, simple enough for younger kids, challenging enough for older kids, and, unlike some of my other favorite pool games, not overly rough/dangerous. 😉
Dodgeball
A classic playground or gym game, but pretty easily played in other settings and with a big group or a small group.
