Game on

Hanging out at the beach all day is wonderful with these kinds of temperatures. But sometimes, just sometimes, a petit peu boring. And to get ahead of that friend with her obvious card game ideas this summer, we have scoured the best beach games for you. And those calories you’ve consumed will also disappear like snow in the sun. From sand Pictionary to the crab race: I challenge you.

Sand Pictionary

Bring out the artist in you with Sand Pictionary. Find a stick and go to the surf. Think of something and you have time to draw it until the wave washes your drawing away. So you have to be super quick. If your teammate guesses what you’ve drawn, you score douze points.

Beach volleyball

Men + swim trunks + sports = winning. And we haven't even talked about those 500 calories you burn per hour.

Goki Kubb Viking chess game

The game can be played one-on-one, but also in teams of multiple people. In the competition, you play best six against six. You mark the playing field with the four corner sticks. Each team sets up five towers on the back line. You place the king in the middle. The aim of the game is to knock down all the towers of the other team with the sticks. Ultimately, the team that knocks down the king wins.

Beach tennis and frisbee

Just because you’ve never been so evenly tanned. AND because the movements during the sport are so varied that all muscles are engaged.

Crab race

You draw a start and a finish line, that’s all you need. To walk like a crab, you spread your legs wide, squat down, and place your elbows on your knees. During the race, you move like a real crab sideways, but forward is of course also possible. It’s tricky to walk, but the game looks too funny and believe me: with a cocktail or two under your belt, this is genius.
