Kids' Ping Pong Games

Ping pong is a fast-paced action sport played all around the world as well as being associated with the popular adult game known as “beer pong,” but kids can enjoy ping pong as well. Ping pong games catered toward children enable them to learn how to play ping pong as well as variations of the game, including in the swimming pool, through a video game console and using a traditional table.

  1. Luciboo Ping Pong

    • Single players can practice balance and physics with a 3-D version of ping pong online at Luciboo.com. In the game, players must use the mouse to guide the paddle around the screen and keep the ball in the air as long as possible. Points are added for each bounce, and the best players are listed on the high-score chart.

    Halloween Ping Pong

    • Set up an empty jack-o’-lantern on one side of the ping pong table. Use a marker to color in eyes on the ping pong ball or purchase novelty eyeball balls (see Resources below). The object of the game is to see how many eyeballs a player can knock into the jack-o’-lantern. This game builds aiming skills and accuracy.

    Balls of Fury

    • The movie “Balls of Fury” has an official game for the Nintendo Wii in which players can re-create ping pong action with the Wii remote. Players can play a multiplayer game of ping pong or play in story mode, which follows the movie’s plot. The game features basic ping pong rules and is a great learning game for children.

    Swimline Floating Ping Pong Table

    • Ping pong balls float on water, and that makes them the perfect choice for a floating pool game. Even though the Swimline ping pong table is a lot smaller than standard size, children can enjoy ping pong in the low end of the pool. The game includes two paddles, the floating table and a net.

    Crazy Ping Pong

    • Crazy Ping Pong is a great game for a group of children. Children line up all around the table, with each team split to each side. Remove the net from the table and place a ball in the middle. The children sit on their knees so that their heads just reach the top of table. The object of the game is to blow the ball across to the other side of the table so that it falls off. Each team is rewarded a point for every ball that gets blown off the opposite side.
