As a family we play a Swedish game called Kubb which something similar to Bocce but the viking version.

We got a set for a good price (under $25, for sure) at Target a couple years ago, and it has gotten a lot of use.

We haven't played shuffle board, but I've always wanted to try it.

I'm guessing my boys could modify any game to make a lot of noise! lol

My kids also like this outdoor game in Florida at a restaurant where you throw beanbags onto a box with holes scored for points.

Bocce looks fun as long as they don't the balls on their feet! 🙂

Not that I'm pushing it 🙂 but the balls are quite small - its kind of a miniature version. But I can't remember how much noise it made...

Alex, we've watched pétanque at Bryant Park and that was a lot of fun.

Carpet bocce sounds fun! Sadly, our apartment is much, much too small for playing such a game indoors. And I'm guessing our downstairs neighbors would have a lot of objections!!!

Different sets came up as well - if your kids enjoyed bocce, maybe they would enjoy carpet bocce?
