Get set up
Gather the required materials: Empty tissue box, ping-pong balls and loose belt or string attachment. Set them out before explaining the first round. Clear enough movement space for the group and mark boundaries before play.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Place several ping-pong balls inside an empty tissue box.
- Attach the box loosely and securely around the waist so it can be removed immediately.
- Start the timer.
- The player moves until all balls fall out, without using hands on the box.
- Record the time or number removed.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use fewer balls or a shorter 30-second round.
Make it a great round
Attachment must be loose and easy to remove. Use clear floor space and no violent jumping near furniture.
Keep everyone comfortable
Clear the play area, set boundaries, avoid contact, and offer a lower-impact or seated alternative when needed.
