Throw a great party with the Beach Balls in your Party Pack.
Here are some fun ways for you and your guests to play.
Beach Ball Games
Catch the Ball, Head the Ball – Arrange all participants in a circle. To start off, pass the ball
to each one in turn with instructions as you throw the ball to them. BUT they have to do the
opposite, i.e., if told “Head the ball”, they have to catch it, and if told “catch the ball”, they have
to head it. Players that get it wrong have to sit down. As the game gathers momentum, start
passing to individuals at random until you have a winner.
Chant Ball – Any number of players. The aim is to keep the ball in the air without touching the
ground by hitting it from underneath, volleyball style (hands clasped together). Players count
aloud every time the ball is in the air.
Clap and Catch – Players form a circle with the leader standing in the center. Leader throws
the ball to each player in turn, who has to clap once before catching the ball.
Donkey or ‘Pig’ – Players stand in a circle passing the ball by throwing between themselves.
Ball doesn’t have to go in any direction and can be thrown to any player. Players need to stay
awake for this game as every time they fumble a catch they gain a letter of the word being used
e.g., “P” if “Pig”. Once they have collected all the letters of the word they are out and have to sit
down. Last player left in is the winner. This can also be played with a leader in the middle, who
throws the ball to various players from this position.
Duck! – Similar to Dodge Ball, but it uses smaller balls. For 3 to 10 players and a number of
small beach balls. Draw a line across the playing area. One person stands behind this and tries
to hit players on the other side with the balls. If a player is hit 3 times, they are out. Players are
not allowed to throw the balls back.
