Try this fun and sometimes silly game where players hit a ball over a net with books.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Have at least two participants.

  2. Step 2

    Give each player a hardcover book.

  3. Step 3

    Set up a badminton or volleyball net outside. If playing inside, run a string or some yarn between two chairs or in a doorway.

  4. Step 4

    Create out-of-bounds lines using sticks, string or landmarks. Make a small court for younger children and a large court for older children.

  5. Step 5

    Use a tennis ball if you're outside, or a Nerf or soft foam ball if you're inside.

  6. Step 6

    Send the ball back and forth over the net using only the book to hit it.

  7. Step 7

    Take turns serving.

  8. Step 8

    Keep the ball in play without letting it hit the ground.

  9. Step 9

    Play just for fun or keep score. (Score 1 point every time the ball touches the ground on the other side. The first team to reach 10 points wins.)

Tips & Warnings
  • If you play inside, be sure there are no breakables nearby.
