Inflatable Outdoor Games

Football Target Game

• Purchase several inflatable football players that are used for yard decorations. Set these up at various distances from a foul line that is drawn in the yard. Assign point values to each, with the furthest from the foul line being worth the most points. Each player is given five footballs to throw. He can throw them at any of the inflatable football players he wants and receives the point value for each inflatable he hits. Each player totals his points, with the one having the highest being the winner.

Obstacle Courses

• Inflatable obstacle courses allow you and your friends to find out who is the fastest, when he must navigate obstacles to get to a finish line. Some of the obstacles in the inflatable obstacle courses include poles to run between, tunnels to crawl through and ladders to climb. Once you climb the ladder, you will go down the slide and finish the rest of the obstacle course. First person to exit the course at the finish line wins. You can time your friends if you have a large number of competitors, with the fastest through the course being the winner.

Gladiator Fights

• In the gladiator fight inflatable game, two players stand on inflated elevated pedestals. Each player has an inflatable stick with two round knobs on the end. Her goal is to knock her opponent that is standing across from her from her pedestal before her opponent knocks her over. The first player to fall off the pedestal is the loser in this game.

Bowling

• A large inflatable ball can be used as a bowling ball as you try to knock over the pins. In this game bowling pins are much larger than indoor ones. Depending on the inflatable you rent or purchase they can be 10 feet high or more. Each player gets an agreed upon number of frames to get the highest score, knocking the most number of pins over.

Baseball Throw

• The baseball throw inflatable game shows a picture of a catcher with a glove at one end. The player stands at the other, trying to throw the ball and hit the catcher's glove. There is also a radar gun with the game, which will reveal how fast the ball was thrown, in miles per hour. Players can compete to see who can throw the ball the fastest, or who can guess the speed of his throw the most accurate. For the version guessing the speed, each player throws twice, then tries to guess the speed of his third throw.
