Games

Cornhole: This classic game is perfect for all ages. Just set up the boards and toss the beanbags.
Bocce ball: Another great game for all ages, bocce ball involves rolling a larger ball (the "pallina") towards a smaller ball (the "boccino"). The goal is to get your balls closest to the pallina.
Horseshoes: This game is a bit more challenging than cornhole, but it's still a lot of fun. The goal is to toss a horseshoe around a stake in the ground.
Badminton: This is a great game for a group of people. Just set up the net and start hitting the shuttlecock back and forth.
Croquet: This classic game is perfect for a lazy afternoon in the backyard. Just set up the wickets and start hitting the balls through them.
