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
