I found a couple of good BBQ game ideas:
?Tie a Yellow Ribbon - This is a great way to introduce everyone if you have an even number of people at your party. Buy some yarn or ribbon, and cut the ribbon/yarn up into various lengths (at least 100-400 uneven pieces). Put everyone into pairs, and have them search throughout the yard to find as many pieces of ribbon/yarn as they possibly can. They must work with their partners to tie each piece of ribbon/yarn together to create one long piece of yarn/ribbon. The team with the longest piece of ribbon/yarn at the end of 15 minutes wins the game.
?Couples Relay - When the host/hostess says, "Go," the first partner has to eat two crackers. Then as quickly as is possible, he/she has to whistle a designated tune to his/her partner. When the partner guesses the tune correctly, he/she has to pop a balloon (that is already blown up) by sitting on it. The partners then get together, and must run to the finish line with an orange between their lips. To show that they have finished, one person must sit in the other person's lap!
?Lay an Egg - In each pair, the partners stand with their backs to each other. Placing a raw egg between their backs, the object of the game is to lay the egg on the floor without it breaking. The first couple to successfully place the egg on the ground without so much as a crack in it is the winner.
?Belly Burst - Everyone must divide into random pairs. Each couple has to hold a balloon between their stomachs. The couple who is able to burst the balloon first using only their stomachs is the winner.
Water Balloon Volleyball BBQ Party Game: If it’s the middle of summer and there are going to be children at your BBQ party, games like this are fantastic to beat the heat. Prior to the party fill up LOTS of water balloons gather a collection of old towels and set up a “net” (or even a section of lawn with a piece of rope across the middle) in the backyard. Children split into two even teams and pair up with someone else in their team. Give each pair a towel. This BBQ party game begins with a pair from one team placing a water-balloon in their towel, and using it to toss the balloon over the line. The throwing and catching continues until one team misses, giving the other team 1 point. The first team to 10 points wins.
