These active games and equipment make amazing holiday gifts

SpikeBall
Spoiler alert: If your kids aren’t already addicted to SpikeBall, they probably will be as soon as they try it. This fun and addicting game is great on spikes, drops and jumps. The rules are a bit like volleyball except the goal is to hit the ball on the net and not over it. The ball then bounces off the net to give the other team a chance to return it. Great for all skill levels, it keeps you on the move so you can sweat while you play. It’s also small enough to take to the beach, use in the yard, or inside the house (20ft by 20ft is a good amount of room to play, but my son and his friends did. operate with less space in our basement).

Bucketz pouf
This fun variation of a bean bag comes complete with a play tower with 7 buckets, 16 bean bags and a carry bag. There are so many ways to play, but the main idea is to throw the bags in the buckets for a 1-4 point range. You will need a minimum of two to play, but you can also play with a large group. The first team to score 21 points wins the game. The set is portable, lightweight, and easy to pack and take with you to the beach, tailgating, camping, and college. It is also a great garden game.

Pickleball bag
Pickleball has exploded in popularity over the past two years and for good reason. The sport of paddling combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis and quickly makes you sweat. It is also easy to learn if you are new to the sport and gentler on the body than tennis. If you have a pickleball fan in your life, this gorgeous Georgie & Lou pickleball bag is as cute as it is functional. Pockets securely hold your paddle, balls and pickleball essentials. We love that the bag is light and cute enough to carry around even if you’re not going to pickleball. The bag also has interior pockets which hold 3 pickle scoops and keep your water in shade while you play and a front pocket for paddles which don’t take up space inside.
Parker Pickleball bag, Georgie & Lou, $ 148

picnic
If you want to play golf but don’t have any experience on the green, a FlingStick will make it easier and more fun to hit a ball down the fairway. You can even shape your shot from tee to putting on the green. First spotted on Shark Tank, FlingGolf has since grown into a popular way to play golf, regardless of your skill level. As a person with a golf loving husband and son, the FlingStick gives me the chance to play alongside them on the course or at the pit. You will only need one Flingstick for all your shots. When putting, use the Striker Pad at the bottom of the stick by positioning the ball next to it. When trying long-range shots, The Channel on the Flingstick will help you hit the ball about 100 yards within 5 minutes of using your FlingStick (it’s really easier than you might think) and again further after a little practice. Bring a stick rather than all of your clubs the next time you go out on the course to try it out.
The Launch Flingstick, $ 109 (sale price); The Stinger starts at $ 159 and the Junior (for kids) is $ 89 (see site for more variations)
