Perfect Party Games
No holiday party would be complete without party games! If you’re throwing the party at a venue that has access to a tennis court, and the weather allows it, then why not arrange a round robin style tournament to encourage some competition between your guests, and arrange prizes for the winners. If you don’t have a tennis court Swingball is a good alternative that everyone can join in with or play a game of driveway tennis with a shorter net and softer ball. Additionally, a tennis ball piñata is an extremely fun game that everyone can enjoy, no matter their age or tennis ability.
