Lightning (Ping Pong Balls)


Everyone sits in a circle at a table. You need at least 2 ping pong balls (the more the better). The game is played just like the basketball lighting game. Place a large glass cup (wide ones are better). Fill is half full of water (this makes ball retrieval easier). One person starts by bouncing their ping pong ball into the center cup. The person to their right immediately starts after they do. If you make a shot, you pass your ball to the left. If the person on your right sinks thier shot before you do, you're out. Once you are out, you drink 1/2 of a beer and another 1/2 of a beer every time someone else goes out. This is why you want to hang on as long as possible.

In the second round, the winner of the previous gams starts and 2nd place sits to their left, the 3rd place sits left of 2nd place and so on.

Price: ~$6 (just beer and ping pong balls)
Location: Indoors anywhere

Cheap and fun things to do around Minneapolis/St.Paul
