Supply List

  • Ping pong ball, one per table
  • A square table measuring at least 3 ft x 3 ft
  • Straws, one for each player

Objective

Score 5 points by blowing the ball past any of the other three players.

Set-Up

Each player takes a side of the table and places their chin on the table with the straw in their mouth and hands behind their back.

Directions

The game leader puts the ping pong ball in the center of the table to start each round.  When the ball is placed in the center of the table, players blow through the straws to move the ball away from their edge of the table.  A player scores a point if they were the last one to blow the ball and it falls off  an edge of the table that is not theirs.  The first player who reaches five points is the winner.
