Whether you\u2019re looking for something for the summer BBQ, a picnic in the park, or a day out to the countryside \u2014 we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at OS we love being outside, and our selection of family-friendly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk\/shop\/outdoorgear\/outdoor-games.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">garden and outdoor games<\/a>&nbsp;helps you do just that. From garden skittles to a giant parachute, there\u2019s something for all the family. We&#8217;ve recently added NEW outdoor games to help keep you busy (and outside!) for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We challenged GetOutside Champions David Mellor (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pottyadventures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Potty Adventures<\/a>) and Ross Toole (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dadadventurediaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dad Adventure Diaries<\/a>) to try out two of our games with the kids, plus share their ideas for family outdoor fun below.<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/activity-gear\/days-out\/outdoor-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHOP THE OUTDOOR GAME RANGE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Badminton Set<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pottyadventures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Potty Adventures<\/a>&nbsp;crew were our trusted testers of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/badminton-set-with-net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Badminton set<\/a>. It&#8217;s quick and easy to set up, great for a quick game after school, or a mini-championship tournament on the weekend. Easy to use and fun for all the family whether you&#8217;re in your garden, the park or taking a trip to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/GardenGames_Badminton1.jpg\" alt=\"David, Potty Adventures, kids playing badminton\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/GardenGames_Badminton2.jpg\" alt=\"David, Potty Adventures, kids playing badminton\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/badminton-set-with-net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BUY YOUR BADMINTON SET<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garden Croquet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The gang at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dadadventurediaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dad Adventure Diaries<\/a>&nbsp;tried out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/junior-croquet-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Junior Croquet<\/a>&nbsp;set and had great fun in their back garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It was a new game for us but everyone enjoyed the challenge. It got very competitive!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily adapt the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/junior-croquet-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Junior Croquet<\/a>&nbsp;set to make it more achievable for little ones or more challenging for older kids and adults. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s perfect for small gardens if your outside space is limited.<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/junior-croquet-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GET YOUR OWN JUNIOR CROQUET SET<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why not invent your own garden game!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s loads of weird and wonderful games to keep you entertained in your garden. Why not use your imagination and make up your own? GetOutside Champions David and Ross share their family favourites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/GardenGames3.jpg\" alt=\"Child playing croquet\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crazy Garden Golf<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crazy Golf is great fun but, unfortunately, not many of us have a family set of putters in the garage. As such, why not play Crazy Bowls and inject a bit of fun and adventure into the sedate game of crown green bowls. Simply create a nine-hole adventure course in your garden using things you have lying around the house but, rather than needing putters, you aim to roll a ball towards each object in as few moves as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pottyadventures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Potty Adventures<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Floor is Lava<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Floor is Lava is one of our favourite garden games. Create a ninja warrior style course around your garden using boxes, chairs, garden slides and swings, and aim to get around it without placing any of your body on the ground. If you have a paddling pool or sprinkler handy, you can even create a lake and water jet to navigate safely through too. If you&#8217;re a family of four or more, you could even do a blindfolded version in pairs. While you&#8217;re blindfolded and trying to slowly make your way over the course, your partner is shouting directions to you. Fastest team to finish without touching the floor is the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pottyadventures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Potty Adventures<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/GardenGames2.jpg\" alt=\"Hot Chocolate garden game\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hot Chocolate with a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One #GetOutsideInside activity to build hand-eye coordination is \u2018Hot Chocolate\u2019. All you need is a bat\/tennis racquet\/frying pan and something to balance on it such as a ball. One person turns their back and the challenger must creep up and try to reach them. Any time the person turns around the challenger must stop and stay still. If caught moving or if the object falls off the bat\/racquet the challenger must return to the start and try again. As soon as the challenger reaches the person, they need to shout &#8220;Hot Chocolate&#8221;. This is a great simple game that the kids love because they do not want to get caught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dadadventurediaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dad Adventure Diaries<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dadadventurediaries\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garden Obstacle Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another activity we have been doing a lot lately is inventing obstacle courses. We get the whole family involved in the building and designing of our courses. We love timing how long it takes to complete the course and then try to beat our own scores, Mum and Dad included! Again, you can make these as easy or as challenging as you want with anything you have lying around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dadadventurediaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dad Adventure Diaries<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dadadventurediaries\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garden Festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want entertaining over a longer period than just a few hours, why not consider getting your tent out and holding your very own garden festival, complete with music, games and entertainment? We did this over the Easter weekend, and it was a huge hit with the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We created a line-up using playlists and streamed acts from real festival websites. The kids got tattoos, had their faces painted, played games and activities that you&#8217;d usually find in the kids&#8217; area at major festivals, such as circus skills like juggling, hula hooping and tightrope (slackline) walking. It kept us entertained all weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pottyadventures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Potty Adventures<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Den Building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Den Building is a family favourite. During lockdown we have built dens both inside and outside the house. We&#8217;ve built them for sleepovers, to have picnic lunches and watch movies. Under the dining table with a blanket over the top will make a basic den. You can make them as simple or as elaborate as you like. My six-year-old likes to draw and design them first and then we try to re-create them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our back garden we use any materials that we can get our hands on, like old bits of wood, the slide, old painting sheets and tyres. This encourages lots of imaginative play. Often, we pretend we are on a pirate ship or a lookout tower!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Game credit:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dadadventurediaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dad Adventure Diaries<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dadadventurediaries\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/GardenGames1.jpg\" alt=\"Kids in their den\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Head over to our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/activity-gear\/days-out\/outdoor-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online shop<\/a>&nbsp;to get your hands on one of the awesome outdoor games to enjoy with your family.<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/activity-gear\/days-out\/outdoor-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"MetaShare\">\n\n\t\t\t<button id=\"likeButton\" data-nonce=\"26fcc9d63c\" data-postid=\"1454\" class=\"Button Button--default Button--icon likeButton\"><span class=\"likeButtonText\">Like this guide<\/span><svg width=\"21\" height=\"20\" viewBox=\"0 0 21 20\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M10.4947 3.09742C8.5448 1.39335 5.66108 1.04464 3.42166 2.95804C0.999337 5.02773 0.647396 8.5134 2.56291 10.9783C3.29002 11.9139 4.70917 13.3196 6.07302 14.6069C7.45283 15.9092 8.82946 17.1399 9.50834 17.7411C9.51258 17.7449 9.51691 17.7487 9.5213 17.7526C9.58512 17.8092 9.66457 17.8796 9.74074 17.937C9.83194 18.0057 9.96286 18.0909 10.1377 18.1431C10.3701 18.2124 10.62 18.2124 10.8524 18.1431C11.0272 18.0909 11.1581 18.0057 11.2493 17.937C11.3255 17.8796 11.405 17.8092 11.4688 17.7526C11.4732 17.7487 11.4775 17.7449 11.4817 17.7411C12.1606 17.1399 13.5373 15.9092 14.9171 14.6069C16.2809 13.3196 17.7001 11.9139 18.4272 10.9783C20.3353 8.52288 20.0377 5.01032 17.5597 2.95074C15.2954 1.06872 12.4424 1.3927 10.4947 3.09742Z\" fill=\"#186571\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/button>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center MetaShareSocial\" aria-label=\"Share\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"X\" class=\"Button Button--default MetaShareSocial__button MetaShareSocial__button--x\" id=\"share-twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><g transform=\"translate(-173 238)\"><path d=\"M18.9.75h3.68l-8.04,9.213L24,22.5H16.594l-5.8-7.6L4.156,22.5H.474l8.6-9.854L0,.75H7.594L12.837,7.7ZM17.61,20.291h2.039L6.486,2.843H4.3Z\" transform=\"translate(173 -237.625)\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/g><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"facebook\"  class=\"Button Button--default MetaShareSocial__button MetaShareSocial__button--f\" id=\"share-facebook\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><g transform=\"translate(-89 238)\"><path d=\"M14.186,24V13.2h3.279L18,8.4H14.186V6.062c0-1.236.032-2.462,1.759-2.462h1.749V.168A19.34,19.34,0,0,0,14.671,0C11.5,0,9.508,1.989,9.508,5.64V8.4H6v4.8H9.508V24Z\" transform=\"translate(89 -238)\" fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"\/><\/g><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"likeCount\" class=\"likeCount\">Liked by <span id=\"likeCountValue\">0<\/span> users<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<hr class=\"MetaShare__hr\" \/>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"MetaShareAuthor\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MetaShareAuthor__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBy David Mellor\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rain or shine, round up your friends and family and challenge them to an outdoor game.
