Homemade Basketball Party Game

Celebrate the love of the game of basketball along with a child’s birthday with homemade basketball game variations. Celebrating a birthday party in the middle of winter in a cold weather climate may not provide an opportunity for children to play basketball outside – there is a solution to this problem. Ping-pong basketball can be played on a large flat table with a clear container i.e. glass jar. Put a piece of tissue paper at the bottom of the container so the ball does not bounce out of the container. Dribble the ball one to three times and catch the ball on the last dribble. If the ball is not caught, it becomes the opposing players turn. To score a basket, try bouncing the ball into the opposing player's basket. A basket after three dribbles is worth 1 – point, 2 dribbles 2 - points; and 1 dribble 3 - points. After a shot attempted, it becomes the opposing players turn. Decorate the containers with a cardboard backboard by taping a cutout backboard to the containers. The same game can be upgraded or blown up using a metal trashcan and a large bouncy ball as well. Apply the same rules to this game and with optimal space to dribble and bounce the ball safely. Awarding homemade basketball theme party favors to the winners of basketball games will certainly please the party guests as well. Place orange and white candies in a glass jars or bake homemade cookies to resemble mini basketballs in white and black frosting.
