Pong Pong Games
If the regular game of ping pong/table tennis gets too repetitive for you, you can liven it up with these mini-games! My friends and I have tons of fun utilizing the paddle and ball, and there are tons of quick games you can do with both items!
Table tennis Relay
Players: 2-4
Objective: The objective of the game is to allow the ball to bounce once per side on the table. If the ball bounces twice, then the game is over.
How to play: 2 players stand at each side of the table. As once person does a serve to the other side, he must quickly race to the other side and line up behind the 2nd person once he makes contact with the ball. As the 2nd person strikes the ball, he must race to the other end and line up behind the player. As you can see, teamwork is essential and everyone must work together in order to succeed. Not only will you workout your leg muscles and agility, but also work on your control of the table tennis ball.
Table Tennis Bean-bag style
Objective: To throw the ball onto the opponent's paddle before he throws it on yours
How to play: First of all, don't be fooled by how easy the game looks. It is difficult to accurately throw the ball with low volume, and if you are playing outside, weather can be a significant factor. To basically play the games, players must alternate throwing the ball into each other paddles. This game is extremely simple, but also fun at the same time.
All in all, the main goal is to have fun and to keep it competitive. If you want to throw in more elements, such as keeping score between each teams, it will drastically increase the game-play.
