How to Play Quidditch
Filed under: Activities: Big Kids, Activities: Tweens, Summer Fun
Just because "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," the final movie in the Harry Potter series, has already been released, doesn't mean you can't still have a little magical fun inspired by the boy wizard on your own.
Round up your pals, head to a park or big open space and set up your own game of Quidditch. You'll need 15 players, plus a referee, hula hoops, a bunch of brooms, balls and other gear -- but this game is strictly for Muggles -- the brooms don't have to fly and the balls don't need to be magical.
Costumes are optional, but if you're gonna set up the game and round up the players, we say go big. Harry would definitely approve. Here's how to play.

Squiggles said...That would be a hilarious game to play with older kids at a birthday party or field day at school! But I am a bit worried about people getting socked with the broomsticks; maybe some saftey gear would be in order.
