Family Volleyball Activity
Towel Volleyball is a fun alternative way to play traditional volleyball.
Each pair should have one towel and each person should grab 2 corners of the towel so that it is spread out between the pair.
A ball or water balloon is placed on the towel of one of the pairs.
The pair must then work together to lift their towel so that the balloon is propelled into the air, across the net or divider to the other team.
One of the pairs on the other team must then try to catch the balloon with their towel and return it the same way.
As in regular volleyball, a team scores a point when the ball or balloon hits the ground on the other side of the net. Scoring optional
