Bring the fun to your backyard this Memorial Day weekend with yard games for all ages. While you’re grilling up hotdogs and hamburgers, friends and family will be striking up friendly competition – and an appetite.

Here are a few of our favorite backyard games.

Wild Gate Sports Stars and Stripes Cornhole Tailgate Toss

You can’t beat a classic! Not only is cornhole a universally appealing game, it’s also easy to teach new or young players – less time teaching, more time playing. Plus, this set features a stars and stripes design that is perfect for your Memorial Day cookout and other events all summer long. Pull it out again later in the summer for the Fourth of July!

Baden Champions Series Croquet Sets

A croquet set is a summertime staple for backyards large and small. Designed for 2-6 players, we especially like how this set features hardwood mallets with soft rubber grips for comfort. It even comes with a complete croquet rulebook, perfect for new players or rusty ones.

Martha Stewart Wood 4-Pc Grilling Set

If your grilling tools are looking more ‘tired and tarnished’ than ‘tried and true,’ it may be time for an upgrade. This four-piece wood grilling set features everything a grill master could need: a two-pronged fork, a basting brush, a spatula, and tongs, all with a classic rosewood handle and stainless steel finish.

Ribbed Glass 2-Gallon Beverage Dispenser with Stand

This beverage dispenser is sure to be a real crowd pleaser from Memorial Day and beyond. The large 2-gallon clear glass container holds enough liquid to last a couple of hours depending on your number of guests, so you can do more celebrating and less of worrying about beverage duty.

Stars and Stripes Burlap Banner

Add some patriotic decor to your Memorial Day BBQ with this handmade banner. Its burlap material adds an authentic feel to your gathering. Grab several and string them across your deck or fence for the perfect party touch.
