• Yard Games such as Ladder Ball, Badminton, Croquet, Horseshoes or Bocce Ball. You can divide people into teams by gender, age, families or colors they are wearing.
  

• Driveway Bowling: Set up the 2-liter bottles that have been filled with colored water and knock them down with a basketball.

• Scavenger Hunt: Make up a list of things that you would find in a backyard yard. Divide people into teams or have everybody be on their own, set the timer and when it goes off the hunt is done. The person with the most items found can win a prize.

• Photo Stations: Set up a couple of areas with some different props such as hats, scarves, feather boas, silly glasses, mustaches on a stick, etc. You could use disposable cameras or an instamatic camera.
