Aldi's $13 Lawn Games Are Made for Summer Backyard Hangouts
Some backyard games show up once the weather gets warm enough to stay outside after dinner. Somebody drags the carrying bag out of the garage. Folding chairs get pulled across the grass. Before long, people are arguing over whether the ball was actually closer to the target or if somebody crossed the line while throwing.
Those are the games that make summer memories that last a lifetime.
And Aldi's new lawn game sets are here to help you create them.
The store is currently selling both the Crane Bocce Set and the Crane Lawn Bowling Set at $12.99 each. Both come packed inside carrying cases that are easy to keep in the trunk for park days, beach trips, backyard barbecues, or weekends at the campground.

Bocce Is a Time-Honored Classic
The bocce set includes eight brightly colored bocce balls along with the smaller pallino target ball. The colors stand out clearly against grass, sand, and dirt as the game spreads across the yard.

Bocce has been around for centuries and is especially popular throughout Italy and other parts of Europe. The basic version stays simple: toss the pallino first, then take turns trying to land the larger balls as close to it as possible. Things usually get more competitive once people start knocking each other's shots across the lawn.
The game works just as well with two people as it does with larger groups drifting in and out between snacks, drinks, and conversations.
Lawn Bowling Turns the Yard Into a Strike Zone
The lawn bowling set comes with ten pins, two non-regulation (and lighter) balls, and a carrying case. The pins line up in the familiar triangle formation, but the game plays out across grass or sand instead of polished lanes.

Somebody always resets the pins crooked. Kids usually chase after the bowling balls before it is their turn. A strike gets loud fast once the whole row drops into the grass at once.

Backyard Fun That Lasts All Summer
Neither game takes much setup. The pins and balls come out of the carrying bag and onto the lawn within a few minutes, then head back into the garage as the sun starts to set.
At affordable prices, the games are easy and fun additions to your summer plans.
