An active game to be played on any flat surface by two or more players

Object: To bounce a ball across to your partner a specific number of times. (Bonga Bonga has more in common with a game of catch than traditional competitive games. The play process is more important than the objective.)

You Need:

• A ball, any size, that bounces satisfyingly and is easy to catch
• A flat, hard surface (an gym floor, asphalt playground, office desk...)

Toss the ball across to your partner. Before tossing the ball, declare how many times the ball will bounce before it gets to your partner. If you predict the number of bounces correctly, then good for you! If not, then figure out what went wrong and try again.

Winning: Did you pass the time and/or amuse yourself? Then you win! If you're feeling competitive, then check out some of the variants (such as Escalation, Simon Says, Bonga-Bonga-Bonga, and Bonga.)
