Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors and stay active. For adults looking to engage in low-impact activities that are easy on the joints, low-stakes sports and lawn games offer a fantastic way to have fun and maintain physical health without the risk of soreness or injury. We’ve got great ideas for the best summer lawn games that won’t tax your joints!
Low-Impact Outdoor Summer Lawn Games
Low-impact sports and games are an excellent choice for those who want to stay active but avoid the stress on their joints that higher-impact activities can cause. These activities are particularly beneficial for older adults, individuals with joint issues, or anyone looking to prevent soreness and maintain mobility.
- Bocce Ball: Bocce ball is a classic lawn game that’s both relaxing and engaging. Players take turns throwing bocce balls toward a smaller target ball, called the pallino. It’s perfect for all ages and fitness levels.
- Croquet: Croquet is another traditional lawn game that offers a leisurely yet competitive way to spend time outdoors. Using mallets, players aim to hit their balls through a series of wickets set up on the lawn. Croquet is gentle on the body and provides a fun way to improve coordination and precision.
- Cornhole: Cornhole, or bean bag toss, has become a popular summer lawn game for gatherings and picnics. Players throw bean bags at a raised platform with a hole in it, aiming to score points by landing bags on the board or in the hole. Cornhole is easy to play and requires very little physical effort, making it accessible for everyone.
- Ladder Toss: Ladder toss involves throwing bolas (two balls connected by a string) onto a ladder-like structure. Points are scored based on where the bolas land on the ladder. This is one of the best lawn games to help improve hand-eye coordination, too!
- Miniature Golf: Set up a miniature golf course in your backyard for endless entertainment. Mini golf is a low-impact activity that challenges your putting skills and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It’s a great way to have fun while staying active.
