Family-Friendly Outdoor Games for the Lake Lawn

Written By Brian O'Donoghue

There’s something timeless about a sunny day, a big lawn, and some good old-fashioned games. Whether you’re staying with a group of cousins, friends, or neighbours, here are our favourite ways to turn the lawn into your own private playground.

Our Top 4 Lake Lawn Games

  • Rounders: The Irish cousin of baseball. Easy to set up and great craic for all ages.

  • Egg & Spoon Race: Eggs & Spoons —first one across the line wins eternal glory.

  • Giant Jenga: Test your nerves and balance with the oversized version of this classic.

  • Hide and Seek: This is pretty self-explanatory (be careful to create a boundary!!).

Tips for Hosting a Game Day

  • Create a DIY scoreboard

  • Offer little prizes for each round. We have a supply of medals in our storage space.

  • Hydrate! Set up a drinks station with lemon water or pints

Add a Picnic to the Mix

Bring out sandwiches, crisps, lemonade (or prosecco) and make it a proper mini sports day.
