I'm a high school tennis player coaching our local community lessons. There are only 3 of us coaching and we have about 8 kids to a court. These kids are extreme beginners, with little strength or hand-eye coordination. Does anyone have ideas for games that we could play with them. I need games to keep them moving, and keep their down time to a minimum. I know the game jail, so anything other than that please. THANKS

How about tennis tag: divide the kids into two teams. Have one member from each team at the net. The other members stand somewhere behind the baseline in a queue . You and another coach feed the kids at the net balls. They must successfully hit the ball into the service box on the opposite side of the net. If they miss they must try until they get it. After they are successful they must run back and tag a teammate who must come to the net and do the same thing. The team who is most successful after all the balls are played wins.

After they start to get better you can make them hit inside the court just beyond the service box then increase the difficulty by setting up a cone or an empty ball can and forcing them to hit it or a specific mark before they can go back and tag their teammate. The losing team must pick up balls while the other team gets to laugh and point. =)

Here's another: the tennis leapfrog. Have them line up at the baseline. After you feed a ball to the first kid s/he must squat down while the kid behind leaps over him/her to the front of the line while the other one moves to the back. These are probably sound wierd but they're kids they'll love it.

Other than taking 21 shots at the bar! I want her to have something memorable, my whole family will be there, but I definitely want to involve drinking. I want to do something before dinner, something at dinner, and something at the bar! Any ideas?

Beer pong?

No seriously, offer the person something special.. like a neckless or bracelet.
Something she will keep for a life time.
Silver is always nice for these kind of thing.

Which of the following football teams play home games in cities located in Ohio: Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals?

Uh…Cleveland and Cincinnati? Chicago is in Illinois and Detroit is in Michigan. Unless there's something crazy going on this year that I don't know about, I think that's the only two.

My daughter's birthday is Saturday and I just need a little bit of help coming up with some fun games to entertain her guests. Her guests will include girls and boys ages 5-11. Any ideas will be great, thank you.

Pin the tail on the donkey is always a classic, but for the older boys you might want to get soccor balls or something sports related. For the older girls you might want to get twister or board games.

I am co-trowing a party for aroung 30 people and could use some ideas. I want to include everyone in the same activities, and keep things moving.

Battle of the Sexes (it's a question-based board game).

I've played it in large groups before, I think you might have to modify the rules a little bit for a big group but it's very playable with a group that size.

When you pit men and women against each other, THEY GET INTO IT!!

I want to get some games for my Wii, but I want them to be ones that at least two people can play. High action would also be great. Any recommondations?

Mario Strikers Charged is fun with 2 players but is geared towards younger ages but still fun.

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles is like an Arcade game and its fun to blast zombies with a buddy.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games really isn't any fun without 2 or more players. One good thing about this one is its simple to learn so pretty much anyone can play it.

Mario Party 8 hence the name

Guitar Hero if you could manage to get more than one Guitar is Awesome!

These should be enough to get you started.

I’ll pick best answer for the most original ideas

Halloween egg hunt

The is game is just like an Easter egg hunt. Buy plastic eggs and paint them in Halloween colors. Put candy in them and then hide them. The prize can be the candy inside or some of the eggs can contain notification of winning a small prize, a party favor, a quarter or dime etc. Have the people gather the eggs in their Halloween buckets.

Scary massage hunt

Start by making a scary spooky story (you can find lots of these on the internet) and cut it into pieces. Hide each piece in different places of your home. Tell your guests that there are a certain number of pieces of the story and they need to find them all to know the whole story. If you want to make this for teens or scary for a Halloween party then make several scary messages such as Turn Back Now. I suggest putting the pieces of the message in very interesting or freaky places such as test to a puddle of fake blood. If you really want to go all out then why don’t you make the paper look old by burning the edges, soaking it in tea, and make it look dirty by smearing it in coco powder, making it brittle by baking it, or use a combination of all of the above. Have a great party! Then once the pieces are found, put them together and read the story!

So of the November-December release titles which are you guys keeping your sights on? I’m looking out for Last Remnant, CoD:WaW, Prince of Persia, LotR: Conquest, and GoW: 2. What are your opinions on these? Which are good games and which are those type of games that are a MUST own because they are guaranteed great like how I bought Cod4 and Fallout 3 knowing that I was going to have a blast with them.

Personally I don’t know about cod:w.a.w because infinity ward is not making it….( and they made cod4 which i liked the best) the people who did cod 3 i think? are making this one and cod3 SUCKED! so i don’t have high expectations for this game. other then that im really looking forward to shawn whites snowboarding… i just hope its not like a tony hawk game… i hope its more of a amped type game play. other then that I cant think of another game i would really want, lol i know a lot of people wont like what im about to say but i didn’t like gow… i found the controls to complicated so i never got into it and that’s why im not to crazy about gow2… anyway yea… that’s all i can think of now… OH and GhWt…. im glad i didn’t get it when it came out… i been hearing a lot of the instruments are breaking or where broke when people bought them… so im gonna wait on that until that gets fixed.
