Ball Talk
Summary: Ball Talk is a game that can be played in a pool, at the beach, inside your living room, in a backyard, or at a park. It is really versatile.
Girls love to talk! And talking about ourselves is the BEST! This is a great way to get to know your girlfriends just a little better.
For Ball Talk, all you have to do is decide which questions would be appropriate for your own age group of girlfriends. Simply think of questions that you would like to be asked or things you would like to know about others.
Below is a starter list of fun questions to write on the ball. Choose the ones that work for your circumstances. Grown-Up girls may want to think of some spicy questions if playing with only adults. You may want to throw in some more questions about “boys” for the teenage crowd. With this game, you are guaranteed to have a BALL!
Ages: 10 and older
Recommended Number of Players: Between 5 to 20
If you have more than 20 players, you may want to consider getting two balls and having two circles.
Equipment:
1) The largest inflatable beach ball you can find
2) Permanent Marker – Black is fine, but several colors are more fun!>
Set Up: Write the questions for your age group on the beach ball with the permanent markers. The more questions you want on the ball, the smaller you will need to write. Choose questions from the lists below or design a few of your own.
How to Play: Have the girls stand in a circle. If you are playing by a pool, sit on the edge. If the ball doesn’t make it to the other player, she will have to jump in and swim for it.
The Hostess of the party begins by throwing the ball to anyone she chooses. The other player catches the beach ball using both hands. The one who caught the ball must answer the question that their right thumb is touching. After answering the question, that player then throws the ball to another person.
Winner: Non-competitive
