Crazy Ball: Another game from the minds of kids

Required equipment: 

  • open space
  • at least 2 balls
  • players
  • 1 umperor
  • Recommended but optional--slick pants
How to play:
Players 'bowl' balls along the floor trying to get their ball into other players' corners. Players defend their corners from balls.
If a ball hits the wall of another player's corner, that is a Yay. And everyone says, "Yay." If a ball hits a player, it's an ouch. If a ball hits another ball, it's a "Woo-woo". If two balls hit the same wall/object, it is a hooray. If a ball manages to bounce off of three things, it's a "Hip hooray". 
It is not required to have one ball per player. 
There are no points. The idea is just to create chaos, really.
Additional phrases can be added as players choose. 
The umperor starts and pauses play as needed. 
You can also have a wandering interruption on the court, when a non-player moseys onto the playing field. Just for kicks. 


It's easy to learn, easy to play, and plenty of laughs. So, grab your gear and have some fun!
