35 Family Friendly Games for Kids & Grown Ups
Parents, you can stop that “I’m bored” talk with our list of 35 Family Friendly Games for summer. 24 Outdoor summer games and 11 rainy day games for indoors.

We created these easy DIY Water Target Games in the summer of 2012 for a family event, before I started this blog. I saw the idea on Pinterest but couldn’t possibly find that post now. It’s an easy and inexpensive DIY project. You will need tarps, Duck Tape and Pool Noodles. We used badminton net poles to wrap the big tarp target around. To make it more fun we used water balloons to throw as well as more pool noodles to throw as spears. We also covered the tarps with dish soap and placed a water sprinkler next to it.

These game suggestions are awesome. I’m going to see if I can make that tomato cage kerplunk game. My daughter and her friends have already done the water balloon fight and water gun fight.
Great game ideas, I need to. Stick up on water balloons #momtomommonday
So many ideas! I love the water gun cup race one! Definitely bookmarking this for reuse – thanks!
Must share with my daughter for when my granddaughter is older and need to be kept occupied. Thanks 🙂
These are awesome games for the family to play together this summer! I think families should do more activities together instead of one going off over here or there. Bringing the family unit back is great! Thank you for all the ideas! What FUN!
Such fun ideas! I am going to use some of these at our next cookout!
Outdoor games are always so fun when the entire family is involved! I love that this list includes all age groups! This is perfect for the summer, it would be nice to just play with the kids and enjoy the weather.
These are really great ideas! I love it when you can tear away kids from the screens of digital gadgets and whisk them away to fun games that involve more of bonding or even outdoor activity 😀
These games are perfect suggestions for our upcoming team building. We will be having an outing and I’m one of those who are assigned to think of the activities. These are indeed friendly for all ages to play.
So many great ideas! I’d love to play a few of these myself 🙂 #merrymonday
These are great, Shirley. I’ve shared it all over. Thanks for partying with us at Social Boost Monday!
What fun ideas! I can’t wait to give a few of these a try!
What a great collection of games! We love to play games, and have lots of wonderful family memories around them. 🙂

What a collection. That giant kurplunk game looks crazy fun. I’m going to forward this off to my niece. She has the perfect age kiddos for this. Thanks for sharing!
I totally agree! Kids and adults alike can definitely play those – I am all in for many of these myself. They look like so much fun! That look like games the entire family can enjoy! That giant matching one and the water balloon splash looks like they would be awesome. Thanks for the list – pinning!
Wow – so many fun games! The kids in our children’s church love playing the human hungry hippo game and it’s so much fun to watch. There’s not a chance to be bored with so many different games to play over the summer. Great roundup!
