Every party has the same problem. The kids are busy and the adults are bored, or the adults are chatting and the teens are on their phones. Giant Jenga and other yard games fix that. They're big enough to draw a crowd and simple enough for a five-year-old. November in San Antonio is perfect weather for them.

Why yard games work

No power and no fuss. Set them on the grass and you're done.
Every age plays together. A six-year-old can beat an uncle, and everyone loves watching it.
People gather to watch. A tall tower about to fall pulls a crowd every time.
They fill the quiet parts. Between food and cake, guests need something to do.

Giant Jenga

Giant Jenga is the loud one. A few ideas make it even better.

Write dares on some blocks. "Sing a song." "Do ten jumping jacks." Kids love it.
Play on flat ground. A patio or level grass keeps the tower fair.
Keep little ones to the side. They should never stand under a tall tower.

Giant Jenga house rules

Let the person who knocks it over help rebuild it. Count the blocks out loud as you stack. Keep a small trophy for the best save of the day.

Giant Four In A Row

Giant Four In A Row is quicker and quieter. That makes it great for a bracket.

Run a bracket. Write names on a poster board and play winner stays on.
Mix the teams. Pair a kid with an adult and the rivalries get fun.

Pair games with other rentals

With a bounce house: games for older kids and adults, bouncing for the little ones.
With tables and chairs: set the games just past the seats so parents can watch.
At a church or school event: games make a great station next to a treat machine.

Our fundraisers page has ideas for turning games into a ticketed station.

Long weekends in November

Mid-November brings long weekends and family visits before the holiday rush. Yard games turn a casual cookout into a party.

Giant Jenga and other yard games get every generation playing together, with no power and no learning curve. Add them to a bounce house or book them on their own for a fall cookout. Choose your date and we'll bring them to you.
