How to Play Giant Yard Pong
Materials needed:
- 12 large buckets or trash cans. (Grab 2 of the 5 Below Giant Yard Pong Kits)
- 2 large balls. These should be large enough to fit in the buckets but small enough to throw. You could use volleyball- or soccer-sized balls.
Gameplay:
- Decide who goes first. This could be through a coin toss or any other fair method.
- The first team throws one of the balls, trying to get it into one of the opposing team’s buckets. Each player in the team gets a chance to throw.
- If the ball lands in a bucket, that bucket is removed from the game. If it misses, nothing happens, and it’s the other team’s turn.
- The other team now throws, following the same rules.
- This continues, with teams taking turns. The objective is to eliminate all of the opposing team’s buckets.
- Buckets are removed as soon as a ball lands in them. There are no “re-racks” or rearranging of the buckets during the game.
Winning the Game:
The first team to eliminate all of their opponent’s buckets wins the game.
Note: The rules can be modified based on the players’ preferences. Some people play with rules such as “bounce shots” (where a ball that bounces before landing in a bucket eliminates two buckets) or “redemption” (giving a team a chance to save themselves when their last bucket is eliminated).
Have fun with it and enjoy your game of giant yard pong!
