Help
Ok, the most obvious would be drinking games except roughly half the guests of this bbq are going to be underage.
So, I need suggestions for fun party games for adults that are appropriate for outdoors.
What are your surefire suggestions?
Adult BBQ/Party games. Need suggestions...

On a more serious note, I don't think I've ever been to a party with non-drinking related games, underage or not. But I guess .jp is a tad more conservative on that subject.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Here's a classic.
Get an old tree trunk or large section of a log. Standing it should come to about mid thigh level.
Get a good hammer. Preferably one with a steel shaft.
Buy a box of big nails, big fat ones.
Now this is the game. Each participant gets a nail and they then take turns trying to drive the nail into the wood, passing the hammer around in circle. You get one hit per round, If you don't hit the nail, too bad. if you knock it crooked you are allowed to try and straighten it with the hammer. The winner is of course the guy who first gets the nail driven all the way into the wood.
We usually play this at the student cafe or on Freshmen trips. We make up an order of prizes. Usually if we're many it can get pretty crazy, I can't quite remember the usual order, but for the sake of this lets say we're 5 people. The winner pays for the nails. We usually say that's like 1-2 kr per nail. The last person to get the nail in buys shots for everyone. The second last buys a pint for number 1, 2 and 3. The third buys a beer and a shot for the winner. Then there's usually silly rules added. Like if you come in second you have to chuck a beer in 10 seconds or something like that. EDIT: If you miss a nail you drink.
If you can't get a hammer with a steel shaft, make sure to wrap the wood around the head of the metal with lots of duck tape, because people always miss, especially when they are drunk, and the wood gets pretty beat up. We've destroyed more than a few hammers that way.
Even if you aren't playing for prizes it's still a lot of fun. If you have girls playing, they can get a heavier hammer to play with, since they're usually weak as... well, a girl.
Try not to miss the log entirely and hit your knee cap. I've done that too many times.
EDIT: If you can't find a big solid piece of wood to use, a good old wooden pallet can be used as well.

This is non-competitive, but there's a game called What If? wherein everybody writes down a "what if..." question, which are all then placed in a pile, and everyone chooses one at random. They answer the question, then everyone passes them back into the center and they get chosen at random again, then everyone reads them aloud. The Qs and As remain anonymous, and the point is coming up with something clever or funny. Obviously you could regulate how "adult" the questions and answers can be, so it works for a variety age ranges.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Beer pong, but with soft drinks...
Or get this book called "Zombondo!" It's full of trivia and thought-provoking questions.

I've done that with an axe once. A dull one-handed axe, but still. More of a bruise than a cut.

An optional part is if no-one drinks to the "I never ..." postulation, the proposer has to take a major swig.

3 man is awesome, but can get out of hand really fast if people get vindictive.
Neither is appropriate for public venues or underage guests, but they are a hell of a lot of fun. Both are best played with 6-12 people.

Not really that conservative tbh, plenty of underage drinking here (stores are very lax about checking ages) and normally I wouldn't have a problem with it. However, this particular bbq is teachers and students, and we (the teachers) cannot be seen as responsible if any freshman drinks alcohol and goes and does something stupid. I quite like my job.
Any students of age who want to drink, no problems.

Apples to Apples is pretty fun, but you need at least 6 people.
This works better when you're drunk, but you could take a baseball bat, put the barrel end on/in the ground and the handle end against your forehead. Then you spin in circles for as long as you can hold on and then try walking!

Washers? Bags? Horseshoes?
Am I the only one who plays these things at BBQs?
They're easy, fun and get really exciting when people get drunk. Especially horseshoes.

Apples to Apples is a lot of fun. It's thematic cousin (and 2010 Spiel des Jahres winner) Dixit looks even better.
Mafia/Werewolf is good for very large groups.
I've long wanted to try The Lost Pueblo of Doctor Green.
And let's not forget Eat Poop You Cat!

In a similar vein, Cheapass Games' The Big Idea (and its expansion, More Cards) is an absolute riot, but you'll have to track it down online.

You need to use the _thin_ side of the hammer.
