Kin-Ball
Kin-Ball: three teams play with a giant, light ball. The team in possession calls a color and hits the ball; the team called must catch it before it touches the floor.
How to play
- Make three teams of 4 with different pinnie colors.
- Three players support the ball while the fourth calls "Omnikin + color" and hits it.
- The team called must catch the ball before it hits the floor.
- If they catch it, they hit next; if not, the other teams score a point.
Rules
- All team members must touch the ball before hitting.
- Hit the ball upward or outward, never down at people.
