Nothing beats a little friendly competition, and lawn games are the perfect way to spark some fun and make lasting memories with your favorite people. From backyard staples like cornhole to oversized takes on classics like jumbo Jenga and tic-tac-toe, we’ve rounded up some of the best outdoor games available at Walmart. We’re also giving love to some newer additions to the category, like pickleball and axe throwing. So whether you’re hosting a family gathering, graduation party, or just enjoying a casual BBQ or outdoor hang, these games are sure to bring the heat.
One of the biggest trends in outdoor games this year? LED lighting. It doesn’t just elevate the vibe with flashy colors, but, in some cases, it’s even interactive, so the festivities don’t have to stop when the sun goes down.
Heads up: some of these popular picks are selling fast. But don’t worry—Walmart offers same-day pickup or delivery, so you can reserve your favorites online without a last-minute store run. Most of these games should be eligible for both options, depending on the availability at your local store.
Scroll down to check out a few of our top picks—and let the games begin!
The cult-fave lawn game gets an LED upgrade, with vibrant lights that run along the outer edges of each board. Included in this cornhole set are two durable boards, along with six beanbags. For added fun, the lights around each hole flash when someone scores — and the beanbags light up, too! Plus, the back of each board features a built-in compartment to stash the beanbags when not in use.

It's the classic game we all know and love reimagined with a fun twist. This 12-by-12 tic-tac-toe board features rotating blocks with three sides: X, O, and blank. Players toss a beanbag (also included) to flip the blocks and reveal a new side. The goal? Land the perfect shot to create the golden three-in-a-row combo — or undo your opponent's move to block their win. This one is perfect for the kiddos.
