Lawn Darts, Scavenger Hunts and Ladder Ball


We enjoy getting together with friends and family and playing lawn games. My new favorite is lawn darts. Have you ever played lawn darts? My husband shared with me that when he first played lawn darts they had a metal tip on the end. Not anymore.


 Our boys love scavenger hunts. We have enjoyed doing scavenger hunts for many years.


Ladder Ball is another family favorite.

Do you have a favorite yard game?

  1. We like to play "washers"....which is something similar to horseshoes. It looks like y'all had a great time!

  2. Unfortunately no. Perhaps croquet went out of fashion years ago....:(

  3. What a lovely post Carla.
    Scavenger / Beach hunts can be such fun!
    I have played lawn darts with the grandchildren - it's great fun ... but they still all enjoy blowing bubbles.

    All the best Jan

  5. We used to play crochet, lawn darts (with the darts) and bocce. This summer there's been a lot of water badminton. It was essentially badminton in the pool! ;-)

  6. Badminton was my very very favorite game but I loved croquet too! It's fun to get outside and play with the guys! Hugs!

  9. I remember lawn darts. I'm so surprised my kids lived through that. How are they made now? We play 'Bags' a lot. Like horseshoes except with bean bags. Do you?

  10. This looks really fun! I've never heard of ladder ball but I love the idea of getting everybody together to just play - isn't that what Summer fun is all about? We used to play croquet when I was little but we have done much this Summer unless you include mini golf :)

  11. Looks like lots of fun and great memories being made. We had a croquet set and played a lot when my girls were younger. Love summer and all the fun outdoor things to do. Have a great rest of the week.

  12. I remember yard darts, and I remember them the way your husband does! We tried to find them earlier this summer for my nephews birthday party and found how they had changed!
