Whether you’re looking for a way to stay active or just want to try something new with your friends, plenty of fun and unusual sports can provide hours of entertainment.
From archery tag to lawn mower racing, these unique games will get your heart pumping and bring a lot of laughs along the way. Let’s look at some of the most fun and unusual sports you should try playing with your friends.
Archery Tag
Archery tag is the perfect option if you’ve ever wanted to make your own version of paintball without the mess. All you need is some foam-tipped arrows specifically designed for this sport, as well as protective gear and inflatable bunkers so everyone can hide.
You can play one-on-one or team up against your friends in this fast-paced game that makes you feel like a hero (or villain) from medieval times.
Lawn Mower Racing
This game isn’t your typical lawn-mowing experience! Instead of mowing the grass, grab some modified lawnmowers and hit the track for an exciting race around obstacles and other racers. It may sound dangerous, but it’s a safe sport since all the blades are not on the mowers before each race—plus, it’s incredibly fun! You don’t need special equipment; just hop on any lawnmower suitable for racing (most racers use riding mowers).
Frisbee Golf
Frisbee golf is a great way to get out in nature while enjoying friendly competition with your friends. The game’s object is simple: throw frisbees into baskets spread across different holes to gain points. The player who gets the least number of throws wins. You’ll need basic equipment such as frisbees, baskets, scorecards, and pencils, but that’s it! A round usually takes about an hour or two, depending on how many people are playing.
Cornhole
This tailgating classic is a simple game perfect for any group of friends. All you need is two wooden boards with a hole cut out in each, eight beanbags, and some space to set up the boards. The game’s goal is to toss beanbags into the holes on your opponent’s board while they try to do the same. You can find many more cornhole rules and variations online, but the basic concept remains the same.
It’s a great game for any skill level and adds an extra layer of friendly competition to any outdoor gathering.
You and your friends can play many exciting sports, from archery tag to frisbee golf. These activities can help keep you active while providing plenty of laughs along the way, so gather up your crew and get moving! With these fun and unusual sports, there’s no excuse not to take advantage of them all summer long!
