Ping-pong ball relay

A can’t-miss recreation to liven up any event is the ping-pong ball relay! It’s fun for everyone from kids to adults, and turning it into a team competition can get pretty intense.

If you’re doing it at a Christmas party, swapping the ping-pong balls for Christmas ornaments would really set the mood.

For seniors who have difficulty walking, try forming a circle and passing the ball to the person next to them while seated—there are plenty of ways to adapt it and enjoy.

When it comes to games that can be enjoyed at any event, target throwing is a great choice.

You could throw Christmas-colored balls at the target, or decorate the targets and make it so that if you knock them down successfully, you get a present! That sounds fun, doesn’t it? You can freely adjust the difficulty depending on how you arrange it, so try adding touches that make it enjoyable for older adults as well.
