Picnic Games Adults Love

1. Romantic Picnic Games like the "blind-fold food" game, and "truth or dare" and fun to play at a picnic for two! These are definitely picnic games adults will enjoy!
2. Build a kite and fly it. Sure, you could buy a kite, which is also fun, but there's a sense of accomplishment in building a kite that actually flies!

Gather the supplies you'll need: some dowel rods, kite string, a heavy duty garbage bag or thick paper and good instructions on how to build a kite. One of the best kite builders was Benjamin Franklin, after all he discovered electricity flying a kite! His directions are published at: http://www.pbs.org/benfranklin/exp_kite.html

3. Glider airplanes and remote control airplanes. Low tech foam gliders or sophisticated remote controlled planes, both offer a fun test of your skills! A picnic is the perfect time to play this lazy day activity!
4. Photo safari flowers or insects. Put on your hiking shoes and bring your digital camera in hand. Your photo safari could include insects, flowers, seashells, whatever you like. Include yourself or your family and friends in the photos as a memory of the day.
5. Frisbee with your pooch! A dog lover knows that a picnic without their pooch is no picnic at all. These furry friends are built for entertainment. Bring them along and fun with find you. Of course, frisbee can be played with people too!
6. Progressive picnic. The progressive picnic is one for when you're taking a long drive. Map quest your destination and plot several fun stops along the way. Stop and smell the roses. One stop for appetizers, another for the perfect picnic menu, and finally one for dessert.
7. Bring a book of poetry or write poetry. Picnics are a time to talk and enjoy the people you are with. Bring a book of poetry or prose and read aloud to each other. If you own the book, write your own poems of the day in the ledger. What a nice remembrance of your picnic!
8. Play cards. Card games are a fun pastime. They're easy to pack and offer versatile entertainment. Card a sure bet for picnic games that adults enjoy.
9. Bring a musical instrument, karaoke machine or a new CD to entertain. Many memories are stored in music; make it a part of your day. If you or your picnic partners play an instrument, have them bring it along. If not, bring a karaoke machine or simply pick up a new CD that you have listen to before and create you own private concert.
10. Collect foliage, sea shells, rocks or what ever is near your picnic site. Have you got a rock collection gathered from around the world? Silly, but I do. During a picnic spent with my sister and brother-in-law on the river rock beaches of a winding river, I collected colorful and perfectly formed river rocks that were small enough to fit in my pocket. They live in a candy dish on a console table. They are a natural reminder a wonderful riverside picnic spent making rock sculptures called Cairns.
11. Lawn Bowling. If your picnic area has a flat surface why not try lawn bowling? It's a great pass time for even two players!
12. Eat - obviously yes! But often overlooked are the delights of a perfect picnic menu. Take your time to create a delightful meal that will be savored and appreciated.
