Bocce Ball
Wiffle Ball
Badmittion
Volleyball
Horseshoes
Beanbag toss
Washer game
Jarts
Pitch and Catch (football, baseball or frisbee)

We played this one at a company picnic.

It is a cross between a schavenger hunt and musical chairs.

You need a fairly large number of people to play this.

Someone not playing the game makes a list of things that can be found in the area. The list is given to the Moderator. You have 1 less chair than you have people playing the game to start. The moderator calls out an item…then the ones playing the game have to run around asking the people not playing the game for that item. Once they have the item, they must return back to their seat, if one is left. A new round starts and the people must first take the old item from last round to the person they borrowed it from before they can get the next item. If you are playing the game…you cannot use your own stuff to help yourself.

Example: One of the items Moderator called was lipstick. Everyone playing the game ran around asking all of the females for their lipstick.

Its pretty fun with a good sized group and it goes fairly fast.
