OUR TOP 5 BEST BARBECUE GAMES

IT IS FRIDAY!!!  

So, we made it.  It is Friday on the cusp of a long weekend and if you haven't been outside today, you are missing out.  The sun is shining, it is warm with a light breeze and there is only more to come (if you believe the forecasters).  You have most likely planned your menu, made your shopping list, decided on beverages, but have you thought about entertainment?

  

Aquaknot Pools has compiled a list of our favorite top 5 outdoor games to play.  

1.  MARCO POLO 

If you had a childhood2. anything like mine, then the words Marco Polo likely brought a smile to your face and triggered memories of swimming away from the "one with his/her eyes" closed and the random screams of "Fish Out Of Water!"  We love the simplicity of this game.  Never heard of it?  Learn the rules here Marco Polo Game Instructions




2.  WATER BALLOON FIGHTS


We are not sure what is more fun, preparing or playing, with this game.  Give the kids the hose and a bag of balloons and let them have at it!






3.  WATER FIGHTS

These awesome noodles are available at our Lakeville Store (54 Main Street, Lakeville, MA) and fun for all ages.  The noodles keep the kids afloat and the animal heads have built in water guns.  The kids will be busy for hours!

4.  CORN HOLE

When the swimming is done for the day or the kids need a break from the water, corn hole is a great game for all ages and has become really popular.  Whether you build your own or purchase one, this game is a definite crowd-pleaser.   

If you haven't played before, check out the simple instructions here How to Play Corn Hole

5.  HORSESHOES 

Last, but certainly not least, is the all American game of horseshoes.  According to Wikipedia, horseshoes was derived from the ancient Greek game of quoits, and was played by those too poor to afford discus in ancient Greek times.  Today, the game has been adopted as a favorite American past-time and competitions and rules are governed by the National Horseshoe Pitchers Associates (yup, that is a real thing).   




We at Aquaknot Pools wish you a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.  To our military families, we thank you for your sacrifice and service.
