This ping pong game is a game everyone should know and play.  It is great for any party because it is easy to set up and it can be played by children or adults. 

Set Up

You will need nine cups filled with water and ping pong balls.  That is all you need in order to start!

Game One

The first game idea is the simplest. It is a one player challenge so it is great for children (though it can be challenging for adults too).  First, set up the nine cups as seen in the pictures above.  Then give the player a set number of chances to bounce the ping pongs and get three in a row.  I like to give each player ten ping pongs and if they can get three balls into the cups (three in a line), they are a winner and get a prize.  For younger kids, give them unlimited number of chances to bounce the balls into the cups.  This could also be a timed game.  Can you get three in a row in a minute?

Game Two

Game two is a head to head challenge played between two players.  Each player wants to be the first to bounce their ping pongs into the cups and get three in a row.  Each player will need to use a different colored set of ping pongs.  The first player that gets three in a row is the winner.  This is a high paced and exciting game.  I really love playing this and I often played this as a round robin tournament.  Who will be the champion at your party?  Please watch the video below to see this ping pong game in action.
