Coneball
 



 

This is a really fun game.  For the ball, just use a soft nerf ball.  To play the game, divide group into teams into equal number of players. Each team is given six ordinary balls at the start of the game. Anyone is allowed to pick up these balls. The goal of the game is to knock down any two of the three bowling pins on the opposing team’s side. Also, hitting an opponent with a ball knocks them out of the game, an aspect reminiscent of dodge ball. In coneball, however, catching a thrown ball does not knock the person who threw it out.
 

The three bowling pins are positioned as the corners of a triangle with its apex pointing towards the opposing side. Each pin is allowed one goaltender, of which anybody on the team can be. When a goalie gets knocked out of the game, another person can replace him or her. If everybody on one team gets knocked out of the game, the opposing team has not won. They still must knock down at least two pins. This means that if every throw is a miss and all of the balls are stuck on the empty team’s side, the game is a draw.
 

The game is usually played by a timer. Most timers are set for 5 to 10 minutes. If no pin or one pin on each side has been knocked down by the end of this time, the game ends in a draw. If one pin is knocked down on only one side by the end of the game, the game ends in a victory for the side with three pins. Most full coneball matches contain about 6 to 9 games. The winner of the most games is the winner of the match.
