Beach Ball Games For Your Kids n U!
Beach Balls are a ton of fun at the beach, at graduations and concerts so why not your office? If you work among rows of cubicles, you can start at one end and pass the ball around over your heads to the other end. Get a couple of balls going around your office and your day at work will be more fun than a day in the sun.
Game 1 - Chute Ball (Children's Game)
This game is best played with an earthball (a very large beach ball). You simply place the ball in the middle of the chute and by pulling upwards and outwards, throw the ball as high in the air as possible. This game can also be played by replacing the ball with a small child or doll.
Mark a line across the diameter of the chute. Have equal teams hold the edge of the chute on either side. Throw a ball into the middle. The aim is to get the ball off the chute on the other team's side of the line, and stop it coming off your own side of the line. (i.e. to throw it over the other team's heads). You mustn't let go of the chute or touch the ball with any part of the body. Keeping score is optional.
After several minutes of wild flapping and little progress the group should realize that co-ordination and strategy are needed to flick the ball off the chute.
Game 2 - Beach Ball Balance Race
Required: Beach balls and swimming pool
Players: Small to medium groups
Each player will need one beach ball or you could play this game as teams with each team given a beach ball. All players will be in the water at one end of the pool. They are to balance their bodies on top of the beach ball by hugging the beach ball. On go they are to race to the other side of the pool and then back while in this position. They cannot loose their balance or unlock their arms. The first player back to the starting point is the winner. The game takes great balance and leg strength and is wonderful exercise for a hot summer day. Make sure that all players know how to swim to play this game. To be played as a team relay, the next player in line will be waiting in the water to take the beach ball once it touches the wall. All the other players will be outside of the pool in a line. The first team done is the winner.

Game 3 - Beach Ball Bumper Pool
Required: Beach balls, ropes and swimming pool
Players: Small to medium groups
Rope off one section of the swimming pool. Each player will be given one beach ball to balance themselves on with their arms hugging the ball and locked. All players will do this inside of the roped off area. On go, the players will swim around in this position trying to push others players against any rope or wall of the pool. If any player touches a rope or wall, looses his balance or uses his arms, they are out of the game. They cannot use their feet to kick other players. The last player that survives the derby is the winner.
