KERPLUNK CROQUET

designdazzle.com

Bring tabletop games from your own childhood into the mix. All you need for this one is a tomato cage, some sticks, and plastic balls. Slide the sticks into the holes of the tomato cage, near the middle of the cage and dump the balls on top. Then, try not to drop any balls as you take turns pulling out each stick. You can even build a stand to position the structure on, that way people can collect their balls as they drop.

Okay, this one is more like croquet plus soccer. You’ll need hoolahoops that you’re willing to cut apart and a couple of soccer or playground balls. Cut the hoolahoops in half, shove them into the grass, and off they go! Just kick the ball through the hoops, no dangerous mallets are required. Painting the balls to look like croquet is also an option for added fun. You can also gather some sticks and use them as stakes to further support the hoolahoop wickets. n
