  • Number of Players:
    • Can be enjoyed by 2 or more players.
    • Ideally suited for 2-4 players for a focused game.
    • Can be adapted for larger groups by forming teams or creating a circle with everyone participating.
  • What You’ll Need: 
    • A large beach ball (preferably inflatable and waterproof)
    • Open space at the beach or pool (shallow water is ideal)
  • Gameplay: 
    • Set the Stage:

      • Choose a clear area at the beach or in the pool with enough space for players to move around freely without bumping into each other or obstacles.
    • The Objective:

      • The basic objective is to keep the beach ball afloat in the air by hitting it with various body parts (excluding hands) and preventing it from falling into the water.
    • Bump It Up!:

      • Players can use their shoulders, arms, chest, head, or even their knees to bump the beach ball upwards.
      • The focus is on gentle bumps and controlled hits to keep the ball bouncing rather than forceful smashes.
    • Let the Bumping Flow:

      • Players take turns bumping the beach ball or can bump it back and forth collectively, creating a rhythmic flow.
    • Variations:

      • Challenge Bumps: Introduce a challenge where players can only use a specific body part (e.g., shoulders only) for a certain number of bumps before switching.
      • Team Bump: In larger groups, divide players into teams and see which team can keep the ball in the air for the longest time.
    • Winning (Optional):

      • You can play for a set time and see how many bumps you can collectively achieve, or simply play until the ball falls into the water.
