Ping Pong Paddle Craft: Create your own ping pong paddle using paper plates and craft sticks. Decorate the paper plate with your favorite colors and patterns. Once your paddle is ready, try hitting a balloon back and forth with a friend or family member. This will help you practice your hand-eye coordination just like in real ping pong!
Observation Game: Watch a short video of a ping pong match with a grown-up. Pay attention to how the players move and hit the ball. After watching, discuss with your grown-up or friends what you noticed. How do the players hold their paddles? How do they move their feet? Try to mimic their movements and see if you can play like them!
Ping Pong Math: Use ping pong balls to practice counting and simple math. Write numbers on each ball and place them in a basket. Take turns picking a ball and saying the number out loud. You can also try adding or subtracting the numbers on two balls. This activity will help you practice math while having fun with ping pong!
