Around the world is a paddle/racket game in which you divide a group in half and go to opposite sides of the net and begin to hit the ball/object back and forth. After you hit, you run to the opposite side of the net and get in line. If you are unable to return it across the net, you are eliminated for a short time. Continue play until you come down to 2 players remaining. Those 2 hit and spin rather than switch sides. When you have a winner, all players come back in and start a new round.
