This old childhood classic is reimagined as a giant lawn game that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.

 

The bundle of sticks are held in a loose bunch and released on a lawn surface, falling in random disarray. 

 

Each player, in turn, must remove a stick from the pile without disturbing the remaining ones

 

If another stick is touched or moved, the player may not continue, and it will be the next players turn. 

 

If the stick was removed successfully, it is lay down next to the player on the ground, and he/she continue by picking up the next stick.

 

Once a player has won his/her first stick, the stick is allowed to be used to pick up the other sticks.

The most basic domino variant is for two players. The 28 tiles are shuffled face down and form the stock or boneyard.

 

 Each player draws seven tiles; the remainder are not used. 

 

Once the players begin drawing tiles, they are typically placed on-edge before the players, so that each player can see his own tiles, but none can see the value of other players' tiles. 

 

One player begins by downing (playing the first tile) one of their tiles. 

 

This tile starts the line of play, a series of tiles in which adjacent tiles touch with matching, i.e. equal, values. The players alternately extend the line of play with one tile at one of its two ends. 

 

The game ends when one player wins by playing their last tile, or when the game is blocked because neither player can play.

Snakes and Ladders is an ancient Indian board game regarded today as a worldwide classic. 

 

It is played between two or more players on a gameboard having numbered, gridded squares

 

A number of "ladders" and "snakes" are pictured on the board, each connecting two specific board squares. 

 

The object of the game is to navigate one's game piece, according to dice rolls, from the start (bottom square) to the finish (top square), helped or hindered by ladders and snakes respectively. 

 

The historic version had root in morality lessons, where a player's progression up the board represented a life journey complicated by virtues (ladders) and vices (snakes). 

Quoits (koits, kwoits, kwaits) is a traditional game which involves the throwing of metal, rope or rubber rings over a set distance, usually to land over or near a spike (sometimes called a hob, mott or pin).

 

Matches are played by two or more players. 

 

Each player takes a turn to pitch four rings across a distance of 2.5 meters onto the quoits board. 

 

The quoits board have five pegs, and each peg is worth different points. 

 

The center point is called the Jack, and has the highest score. After each turn the score is tallied. 

 

The player with the highest score wins the turn. 

 

Players can play 1, 3 or 5 turns, and the player with the majority of turns won, wins the match. 

Skittles is an old European lawn game and a variety of bowling.. 

 

First the 10 skittles are set up in a triangular form in four rows. 

 

1 Skittle in the first row, 2 skittles in the second row, three skittles in the third row, and four skittles in the fourth row.

 

Players bowl (roll) the wooden balls from 9 meters away towards the front skittle in an attempt to topple as many skittles as possible. 

 

Each player bowls two balls towards the skittles and the score is equal to the amount of skittles toppled from the two balls. 

 

For team games, the individual team members points are added together. The first person or team to reach 50 points (or 100 for long games) win.          

Badminton, a lawn game played with lightweight rackets and a shuttlecock.  

 

Historically, the shuttlecock (also known as a “bird” or “birdie”) ws a small cork with 16 goose feathers attached to the weight.

 

Usually a match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.  Everytime there is a serve, there is a point.

 

If the shuttlecock hits the net or lands out then a point is awarded to your opponent.

Kubb is a lawn game where the object is to knock over wooden blocks, known as "kubbs", by throwing wooden batons at them.

 

It is often claimed that the game dates back to the Viking Age.

 

On the Swedish island of Gotland, stories of kubb being played date only from the early 20th century.

 

Play takes place on a 5 by 8 meter rectangular pitch. Kubbs are placed at both ends of the pitch, and the "King", a larger wooden block, is placed in the middle of the pitch. 

 

The ultimate object of the game is to knock over the "kubbs" on the opposing side of the pitch, and then to knock over the "king", before the opponent does.
