Frisbee bocce
Frisbee bocce is a play on bocce ball. In traditional bocce ball, each player attempts to throw their uniquely colored ball as close as possible to the bocce ball. The player with the closest ball is the winner. For Frisbee bocce, you can use different-colored Frisbees. You can use an extra Frisbee to act as the “bocce ball” that everyone is aiming for. This game is great for any family because of how customizable it is. You can make this game more difficult for families with older kids or super easy for families with little ones.
Frisbee H-O-R-S-E
The game of H-O-R-S-E is typically a basketball game where one player makes a specific type of shot. The next player(s) attempts to replicate that specific shot. If they fail, they receive an “H,” but if they succeed, they remain with no letters. This game goes on until everyone but one player has spelled out “horse.” Just like the basketball version, this game can be played the same, but with a Frisbee. Utilize a Frisbee to hit objects, make cool trick shots, and more.
Frisbee dodgeball
Trying to dodge a Frisbee is harder than it sounds. It can also be a little painful, so it is best to play this game with older kids. Frisbee dodgeball is essentially a typical dodgeball game, but with Frisbees. Line up however many Frisbees as you want in a line. Two teams should line up at an equal distance away from the Frisbees. When someone says to go, both teams attempt to grab as many Frisbees as possible and the game begins. It will help get everyone rolling around, jumping, and laughing throughout the game.
Frisbee tag
Frisbee tag is a bit different than normal tag, but still has the “you’re it” factor. For the Frisbee tag game, you will need two teams with at least two people on each team, but more is better. The team that does not start with the Frisbee is “it.” The team with the Frisbee has the goal of keeping the Frisbee away from the “it” team. The “it” team attempts to intercept the Frisbee. Once they do so, the roles switch and the game continues. One way to determine a winner is to set a timer. Once the timer goes off, the team with the Frisbee can be declared victorious.
Update the game of catch
One great way to make that boring old game of catch more interesting is to add a little competitive flair to it. You can play this game with at least two pairs of two. Each pair is a team, and you can create fun and different challenges to pit the teams against each other. One idea is to start a timer, and the team that can pass the Frisbee back and forth the most in the given time is the winner. Another great option is to play a game where whatever team drops the Frisbee first, loses. This is a great way to update the game of catch with a Frisbee. It allows your family to stay competitive and have a good time anywhere and anytime.
