Lawn games have been a source
of fun for generations in families and have also
been a medium of family bonding. You can spend
many a sunny afternoon playing games like croquet,
bocce ball, tetherball, badminton and lawn bowling.
Revival of lawn games not only brings back nostalgic
memories, but also is also infinitely better than
getting hooked onto video games.
Many of us have great
gardens but do not use them optimally. Often lack
of time is cited, but a common reason could be
that families do not know what to do in the yard
other than to merely sit down. Playing lawn games
can get the entire family outdoors, which can
be a lot of fun.
Some points, however, need to
be kept in mind while playing lawn games. It is
worthwhile that a separate area is demarcated
with tougher grass. This is because if you are
playing a game like badminton, players are bound
to tread on the grass, which may cause damage
to the turf. A game of volleyball can also be
played on the same area and with the same net.
Croquet and bocce ball can also be played, though
they are gentler and will cause little or no stress
to the lawn.
Often grass does not grow under
a tree. If there is a place like this in the yard
this could be an ideal place to locate a horseshoe
pit. Horseshoe pitching is another great game
for the entire family. Tetherball is a good option
too and requires equipment that isn't complicated.
It requires only a stationary pole, a rope, and
a ball and is an informal fun game.
