Sunshine, Picnics, and Some Mega-Sized Fun!
A picnic is a great way to unwind and spend quality time with your loved ones while soaking up and enjoying the sunshine. Nothing beats sitting down with your family and friends, playing some games, and having a good time outside.
But if like many parents, you've run out of ideas―beyond the usual picks like playing tag and flying kites―we've rounded up some outdoor games you might not have considered. Guaranteed to bring lots of laughter and memories for everyone. Plus, these interactive games improve thinking and motor skills and develop hand-eye coordination. And the best thing is, everyone can play!
Check out these must-have picnic games and let the competition begin!
If you're looking for tons of game options for everyone, this Giant Yard Dice Set doesn't disappoint with its 20+ mega-sized dice games, including some all-time favorites like Yardzee (a yard version of the classic Yahtzee) and Farkle!
Get to know some new and refreshing games, like Pig, Bowling, and Stuck in the Mud. Game rules are included so everyone knows how to play. Choose to follow the rules precisely or create your own variation! As long as all the players clearly understand what the rules are and agree to them before the game begins, then you’re all set!
Spice things up with a bit of competition by tracking everybody’s scores using the 5 big, reusable scorecards. Everything is packed neatly into its collapsible bucket, which you can also use to shake the jumbo dice before tossing them (or place other picnic essentials as you play!).

Another exciting dice game set worth mentioning is the Giant Right Center Left. It's an upscaled version of the tabletop classic, Left Center Right. This luck-based dice game involves rolling dice and passing jumbo chips between players. Players take turns to roll the dice until the last remaining player with chips takes the pot!
It’s a very easy, fast-paced and thrilling game that has both kids and adults on their toes! You can up the stakes by having your pot be something anybody would love having, from dimes to toys to some delicious BBQs or that last piece of chicken!
In terms of portability, this Giant Right Center Left game also comes with its dedicated drawstring bag. Super light and easy to bring along. Just grab and go!
Ever played a lifesize match of checkers and tic tac toe?
King your checkers across the 4ft game board, or flip it to play tic tac toss! We’ve upsized the fun so everyone can play. What used to be a 2-player tabletop game can now be enjoyed by the whole family, from tiny Jude to Auntie Jean.
These brain-teasing games are great for learning and sharpening the mind! Kids will have fun learning, and adults will enjoy the challenge. Plan, strategize and try to look at every possible move before moving your jumbo checker pieces. Toss the large X’s and O’s from as close as 3ft for the young ones, and go up to 10ft away for the pros.

You’ll love the soft, distressed large mat that gives off a nostalgic vibe. Looks aesthetically pleasing with its retro style and is picture-perfect for the ‘gram! #picnicday 😉🌞
Many proud owners of the Giant Checkers and Tic Tac Toe game set say they've rolled it out on their beach trips, sidelines of soccer games, and of course, picnics. What makes it so versatile is the material: it's super lightweight, machine-washable and easy to pack. You’ll never have to worry about salad drippings or lemonade spills. When folded up, it's barely bigger than the box that these classic board games would come in! It also has a carry bag for easy storing and transport.
One reviewer keeps the game in their trunk at all times, like a survival kit sort of thing. Well, it never hurts having a handy lifesize game of checkers and tic tac toe while also getting something to lay down in the grass somewhere at a park and have a lovely picnic.
Jenga has always been a top choice for group games. But level up the fun with these giant outdoor versions!
Our Giant Tower Game makes for memorable indoor game nights or fun backyard times. It starts over 2.5ft tall and grows to 5ft during play. The big blocks are lightweight, so you won't sweat about having the giant tower fall on you. A storage crate is included which you can also use as a game table!
It’s more visually appealing counterpart is the Reclaimed Giant Tower Game. It will look perfect in your room or on your IG feed, being the colorful, vibrant-looking one. Crafted with an exclusive smooth-pull finish so it's over 40% easier to slide blocks out. We've sealed the wood to make it water and weather-resistant, so you can play it in your game room, at the park, or by the pool.

This newest edition in our Giant Tower Game catalog comes with a straightener, a storage crate, and a game table all built into one! Use the straightener to get a pre-assembled giant tower instantly! Cuts your setup time up by 90% so you can start playing in seconds.
This variation also lets you play with the highest Jenga tower possible. With the built-in game table, the tower starts at a gigantic 4ft and builds up to a massive 6ft! Or play without the box for a tower of 2ft to 4ft tall.
Playing games at a picnic is a great way to connect with your family and have an awesome time together! Remember to keep your family's traditions and preferences in mind when planning outdoor games. Aside from tasty snacks, don’t forget some music or enjoy the sounds of nature.
