First you’ll need to decide on a date and invite your family over! Make sure everyone knows the tournament rules before you get started too. You’ll avoid arguments later if the rules are clearly laid out ahead of time!

Next, print off this free printable tournament bracket so you can keep track of everyone as they progress through the tournament.

You’ll also need a ref for each round. The adults and older kids can take turns doing this when it is not their turn to be playing. It’s important to have a 3rd party to refer to on close calls!

Make sure you designate a score keeper. It’s easy to lose track of the score when the play gets heated!

Notice anything about this picture? Not a single person has a phone in their hand! We didn’t even tell the kids to put their phones away, they just naturally set them on the counter and never looked at them again! I have to admit that I was shocked that not once, all night long, did anyone pick their phone up. This is one major plus side to getting the kids involved in a non-techy activity! They can UnPlugNPlay!

Our final match up was between my nephew and my husband. My nephew was kicking butt and beat the rest of us!

Once you are done clean up is quick and easy. Just fold up the table and push it out of the way! Make sure you have some fun snacks and drinks on hand too!

We’ve had our MyT Wild Killerspin ping pong table for several months now and I couldn’t be happier with it. It has held up well and is great quality. We can use it indoors or outdoors which is a major bonus in the summertime! Just wheel it outside and play. I love the idea of encouraging our kids to UnPlugNPlay. Ping pong is a great way for them to do this!
