Bumper Ball, Bubble Football, Zorb Soccer and at least a few more combinations of these names hide just as many variants of the game in inflatable balls.
Bubble Bowling
A group of several players stands at one end of the pitch, and one player from the opposing team stands at the other end. His task is to build up speed and throw himself at the opponents standing there, knocking down as many of them as possible! Just like bowling 🙂
Bubble Sumo
Two players stand inside a circle drawn on the ground, and the aim of the game is simple: push your opponent out of the circle. Just like sumo 🙂
Bulldog
A player standing in the middle of the pitch, like a bulldog, tries to stop as many opponents as possible as they try to run from one end line of the pitch to the other. Every player who gets knocked over has to join the middle and get in the runners’ way himself.
Last Man Standing
Five against five. Everyone starts from their own end of the pitch. They charge at full speed to knock over all their opponents. If someone manages it, the opponent can’t return to the game. The last player still standing wins.
Rugby
Players line up in teams facing each other. They can catch the ball in their hands and hide it inside their bumper ball, running to the end line to score a try. But the opponents won’t let them through their lines that easily and will attack with full force to knock the attacker over. Once he loses his footing, he has to quickly pass the ball to a teammate – otherwise the referee will call passive play and the ball goes to the opponents.
