The following are a few outdoor toss games that are a lot of fun, and that with the right equipment, make for a great way to pass the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Bocce: This is a game with French origins, and you must purchase the right balls to play it, or you can make your own home version of it. The way it works is you have a smaller ball, called the Bocce. You have someone toss the bocce, and it becomes the mark. Then each player has a set of three balls that are assigned to them. You alternate turns, tossing your balls, and trying to get them as close to the bocce as possible. The person who at the end of three rounds is the closest scores the point. You can try to hit other opponents balls out of the way if you wish. You play to a predetermined number of points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Playing games out of doors is a fun way to pass the time.
