Eating and drinking seem to dominate the tailgating experience. What if good food, good drink and good conversation is not enough? A good list of games to play while tailgating is hard to find. So we decided to compile one that includes some of the more popular and unique tailgating games we have seen in the parking lots over the years. Here are a few suggestions on how to keep yourself entertained while the meat is cooking on the grill.
- Tailgate Toss – a.k.a Cornhole game
- (We recommend Cornhole Toss from AJJ Cornhole.)

- Washers – a.k.a Texas Horseshoes
