If you don't have a goal net, a fun alternative is to create a goal or target on your fence. Using sidewalk chalk, draw goalposts on the fence at different heights. Mark each with a number which corresponds to the number of points that the goal is worth.

To play, each guest tries to hit the targets by kicking a rubber ball at the goal. Give them three chances, and add up the points earned from all three tries.

You could also make this more interesting by drawing different shapes as targets instead of goal posts. For younger children, throwing the ball at the targets might be easier.
