ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Punchball

Punchball is a fun game where you hit a ball with your hand! It's kind of like playing catch, but you don't need a mitt or a teammate.

The ball itself is usually a big, bouncy rubber ball - just the right size for punching around. You might play punchball with one friend or a whole group of kids. You'll take turns punching the ball and trying to make sure it doesn't hit the ground.

When it's your turn, you'll use your hand to "punch" the ball up in the air. Then you want to keep punching it back and forth, trying to keep it from falling to the ground. The more times you can keep the ball in the air, the better you're doing!

You can play punchball pretty much anywhere - on the sidewalk, in a park, or even in your backyard. Just make sure you have enough space and that you're not too close to anything breakable. And if you want to make things more interesting, you can set up rules like "no catching the ball" or "every time you miss, you have to do a silly dance."

All in all, punchball is just a simple, fun game that anyone can enjoy!
