Children's Outdoor Party Ideas - Fun Garden Games

Garden games such as twister giant chess and many others provide a fun source of entertainment for your children, you can choose games for a small number of children or others with a far greater number of participants depending on your requirements.
No parent if given the choice would want to hold a child's party indoors when they are a bomb proof garden outside where your child's friends can run riot.
Purchasing some outdoor garden games will not only keep the children entertained during a birthday party but will also last you for years to follow. Good quality well manufactured garden games purchased from a reputable provider can last you an incredibly long time.
You will find that there is a wide range of outdoor games on the market which vary greatly in price, this allows there to be something to suit every parent s pocket. Many of the traditional board games played inside have been transformed into far larger versions of their former selves for outdoor use. These larger versions seem to capture everyone's imagination regardless of age. The garden game you buy does not need to be restricted to only your child's use if you plan and think wisely you can buy a garden game that adults will also enjoy so that it can be used during outdoor adult parties as well.
Outdoor garden games available:
Starting with some of the most expensive;
Giant Chess The age old game in giant format! This is a fantastic family game which is more suited to older children and adults. This is one of the most expensive outdoor games I have found, however there are different sizes available and if you are happy to compromise slightly on size you will benefit pricewise.
Draughts
This product is very similar to giant chess and is suitable for all that can play or have a yearning to learn. If you have small children it may be a better choice than chess as the rules are less complicated. This product again can vary in size and also price to suit all budgets.
Connect Four (or words similar to this affect:) )
This product will suit all ages and is suitable for two players at a time. This may not necessarily be best suited for a children's party unless a tournament is arranged as the number of players participating at one time is restricted.  The game is made either of wood or plastic (depending on supplier) and stands roughly at 1.2 metres tall x 1.2 metres wide. This game requires skill and strategy to become the first player to connect four plastic playing counters into a row to win!
Giant Tumbling Towers Multi player game which causes tension to heighten as the tower does. Who will be the first to make the tower tumble? This product is currently available in beautifully crafted wooden blocks and is suitable for all ages. Please note that a step ladder may be required to add blocks at some stage during this game. Small children also need to be supervised for when the tower does tumble!
Giant Dominoes Fun for all ages either to play with or to create patterns or to play numerous games with.
Giant Pick Up Sticks
Suitable for only those with the steadiest of hands. This multiplayer game is suitable for all ages and comes in either wooden or plastic format.
