The printable picnic game has been discontinued.

Spring is in the air! And you know what that means? Time to get outside and enjoy warmer weather.  The boys and I can’t wait to spend more time in the sunshine and one of our favorite things to do is head outside and have a picnic.

Picnic Tips – My Checklist for Picnic Fun

These are the things I like to pack for our outdoor picnics. Hopefully, you’ll find some fresh picnic ideas here.

1. Pack a thick, soft blanket to sit on while picnicking
2. Wear comfy shoes and bring sunglasses
3. Load your picnic basket with easy eats – like my ham and cheese roll ups (recipe below)
4. Bring milk bottles with tops for drinks to make spills less likely
5. Pack loads of fresh fruit
6. Pack foods that don’t require utensils
7. Bring extra plates, cups and napkins
8. Bring game cards – like my matching food pairs cards (included as a free download with this post)

#LoveYourLawn and Grow Green Grass

You may also notice the green grass that’s popping up in our back yard. Green grass grows faster and thicker when we use lawn food like Scotts® Turf Builder® Weed & Feed.

To play the game, print two copies of the food cards, cut and trim the cards to make them all an equal size, and spread them out on a blanket face down. have kids take turns trying to find a matching pair. Kids can turn over one card and then try to find it’s match in one, two or three tries. You decide how many tries you want to give them to find a match. If the player finds a match, they turn the unused cards back over and gather up the matched pair. You can decide if a matched pair means they get another turn or if you want to move on to the next player. Keep playing until all the cards are matched and celebrate with a family WIN!
