Top 5 Giant Outdoor Games for Kids
1. Jumbo Soccer
We bet your kids will love kicking around a 30-inch giant soccer ball. It’s just like regular soccer–but much more fun and exciting. Better yet, invite all the neighborhood friends over and go head-to-head in a community scrimmage. Get ready for endless laughs while your kids attempt to kick a giant soccer ball that’s about half the size of them. Your kiddo lines up for the (giant) shot and… SCORE!
Why We Love It
- Material of the soccer ball is very durable
- Kit comes with an air pump for easy inflation
- UV-resistant rubber material keeps the ball from wearing down
What Parents Are Saying
“This ball is so fun for my little kids to kick around. My three-year-old started soccer and when we got this giant ball it was easy to help him want to practice. It’s also big enough for them to roll around and push around with my younger son who is under 2! Such a great add for backyard fun!”

2. Giant Kick Croquet
Take the traditional croquet game to the next level by combining running, kicking, and giant balls. Kids will master their foot-eye coordination by guiding their large croquet ball through a course of tricky wickets. Our favorite part about giant croquet is that kids can make the course as hard or easy as they want just by how they space the wickets around the yard. All you need is two to four players, and it’s game on.
Why We Love It
- The croquet balls are high density to withstand even the most brutal kicks
- Kit includes a hand pump for inflating
- Kids as little as three can play this fun game
What Parents Are Saying
“We are loving the 4Fun Wicket Kick: Giant Kick Croquet. The kids had never heard of the game of croquet before receiving and they are HOOKED! So easy to set up and play and the oversized balls make it easier for the kids. We just can't get enough!!”

3. Jumbo 2-in-1 Chess and Checkers
Not all giant outdoor games have to be physically demanding. We love this jumbo chess and checkers set because it still gets the kids outside, even if they don’t feel like running around. Do your kids not know how to play chess yet? Jumbo style is a great way to learn. And if they don’t have anyone there to teach them the way of the kings and knights, they can flip it over and play a fun game of checkers instead.
Why We Love It
- Chess pieces have removable bases to change into checkers coins easily
- The game board mat has a waterproof backing for dewy grass protection
- Kit includes a storage bag so kids can tote around and play anywhere
What Parents Are Saying
“What a nice activity this has been for my kids and husband to play chess together! It's really nice that it switches back and forth between the 2 games so easily. Highly recommend this for any families with young kids looking for new and unique activities to do together as a family.”

4. Lawn Launch
Lawn Launch is basically a giant version of the classic skee ball arcade game. All you need is at least 15 feet of space and scorecards, and you’re ready to get rolling. Compared to the traditional hard and heavy skee balls, this jumbo version has six colorful foam balls, making it perfect for kids. The game is simple–while also building on core math skills. Land your ball in the large ring and get 5 points, medium ring is 15, and the small ring is 20 points. Whoever gets to 100 first wins!
Why We Love It
- Score rings can adjust based on age for preferred difficulty
- Water resistant ramp keeps the game in good condition even if it’s wet outside
- Six different colored balls make the game interesting
What Parents Are Saying
“Our whole family really enjoyed this game. It's played similar to skee ball where you roll the ball up the ramp and try to get it to land in several sizes of hoops. Set up was quick and easy and it folds down for easy storage. We liked how you can adjust the location of the rings to change to the difficulty for different age groups. The balls are solid foam so they roll easy but are soft in case a kid throws one wild. A great game for family fun or for parties or events!”

5. Giant Adventure Sky Swing
Who says a jumbo swing can’t be a fun game? Your kids will love feeling the butterflies in their stomach as they go higher and higher on this 50-inch giant swing. Better yet, turn the swing into a dizzy game with the 360-degree spinning swivel attachment for full-motion twisting. When it comes to a child's mind, there are endless game possibilities for this huge swing.
Why We Love It
- Kids of all ages can play
- Enhance the fun with a 360-degree spinning swivel attachment
- Larger than most competitor giant swings
What Parents Are Saying
“This was a fantastic purchase for my kids (10 and 12) for Christmas. We went with this brand because the website clearly stated that the swing could be hung from one strap - something that is important for being able to twist or swing in big circles. The 50” version is also bigger than many competitors. It was packaged nicely and was not too hard for me to put together without my husband’s help. The kids have spent hours on it since Christmas!”
