Life-sized chess
There was a street festival outside my apartment last month. It featured a large vinyl chessboard with large plastic chess pieces. When I went by, some children (in teams? advised by parents, a little) were playing chess. I liked that the kids were only a little bit taller than the pieces.

Occasionally people played human chess at Swarthmore where people were the pieces. It made capturing quite exciting which provided a strong incentive for the players to exchange pieces.
