Parachute Bouncing Balls
For this game, you will need a large parachute (with no strings) and a bouncing ball for each player. Number each ball and assign one ball to each player. The parachute needs to have a hole in the middle large enough for the balls to fit though. All players stand around the parachute and hold on to the edges. When you yell, "go," all players put their balls onto the parachute, and start moving the parachute up and down. The objective is to get all the rubber balls in the hole except yours. The player with the last ball on the parachute wins the game.
Volleyball with Blankets
You will need a volleyball net and two blankets for this activity. Divide players into teams of four players and give each team a blanket. Be sure the blankets are the same size to make the game fair. Give one team the volleyball to serve. Each player must get at one corner of the blanket. Have the first team serve the ball by placing it in the center of the blanket, all players must squat down and up quick to toss the ball over the net with the blanket. The other team must catch the ball and toss it back over using only the blanket. If the team doesn't catch the ball or the ball goes in the net instead of over the net, the other team gets the point. The first team to reach 10 points wins the game.
Leg Ball
All you need for this game is two balls, preferably soccer balls or volleyballs. Have all players stand in a circle with their feet spread far apart and each of their feet should be touching their neighbors (on each side) feet. All players must put their hands on their knees. Give the two balls to two players in the circle. When you say, "go," the players will try to roll the balls through another player's legs. That player must stop the ball with his hands. If the player stops the ball with his hands, he gets to try to roll the ball through another player's legs. If the ball goes through a player's legs, he gets a point and the player that made the ball through his legs gets to roll again. After a player catches a ball or rolls a ball, he must put his hands back on his knees. The player with the least amount of points after a certain amount of time wins the game.
