lawn game

Outdoor yard activity

A lawn game is any outdoor game played on grass, typically in backyards, parks, or picnic areas.

Croquet, bocce, cornhole, and badminton are classic examples.

The term suggests casual recreation rather than serious sport: We set up a few lawn games for the barbecue.
