New Year’s Eve Dare Pong
You’ll need plastic cups, ping pong balls, paper and pen, and a small basket of prizes.
Write funny, silly, or creepy challenges on the bottom of the plastic cups or on slips of paper that you put inside the cup. In some of the cups, write “PRIZE”
Place cups in a triangle shape on one end of the table.
Players stand at the other end of the table and take turns trying to bounce ping pong balls into the cups.
If you make it in the cup, you must do the dare or challenge listed in the cup. Or, you may get lucky and get PRIZE and get to pick a prize from the basket.
Mix up the cups regularly so people don’t know if they’re getting a prize or a dare!
