Boule, boccia & outdoor games: say goodbye to garden boredom

When the days get longer, the sun slowly gains more strength and nature awakens, spring marks the beginning of the season for yard games. A wonderful time associated with lots of fun together in the fresh air! Boule, Boccia & Outdoor games from Zoch bring boundless play fun to the garden and enrich barbecues, children's birthday parties, trips to the park and afternoons outdoors with the whole family.

Crossboule: an exciting twist on a classic

While most people are familiar with boules, you may not have heard of crossboule. It is a variation of the classic game of boules that can be played both indoors and outdoors. This is because the balls in Crossboule are made of soft textile materials. Unlike conventional boules and boccia, there is no risk of ruining the expensive parquet floor with the cross versions of the two game hits.

Basically, the aim of boules - and also of Crossboule - is to place one's own playing balls as close as possible to a so-called target ball. To achieve this, the balls are thrown out of a throwing circle that marks the spatial boundary for the player. The player whose ball is closest to the target ball at the end wins. The beauty of it: boules can be played one against one as well as in teams. 

Who should play boules, boccia & yard games?

On average, children from around six years of age can master our boules, lawn bowls & outdoor games. Much younger kids, on the other hand, often still have difficulties throwing the Crossboule balls accurately. It's best to check the age recommendations for the individual products and compare them with your child's developmental level.

Apart from age, the suitability of lawn games also depends on the interests of your child. The exciting outdoor games are particularly appealing to kids who like to spend time in the fresh air anyway, enjoy movement and like to compete directly with an opponent or an opposing team. However, boules, lawn bowls, and outdoor games are also a great way to motivate less active children to get active outdoors. However Crossboule is not just for kids, it is also a fantastic outdoor game for adults.
