Here are a dozen super fun games to introduce pickleball concepts to children and under:

1. Pickleball Tag

This game is a great way to get kids moving and learning the basics of pickleball. To play, simply divide the kids into two teams and give each team a pickleball paddle. One team is the "chasers" and the other team is the "runners." The chasers try to hit the runners with the pickleballs, and the runners try to avoid getting hit. The game ends when all of the runners have been hit.

2. Pickleball Hot Potato

This game is a fun way to practice hand-eye coordination and reaction time. To play, simply sit the kids in a circle and give them a pickleball. Start the music and pass the pickleball around the circle. When the music stops, the child holding the pickleball is out. The game continues until only one child is left.

3. Pickleball Bowling

This game is a great way to practice aiming and hitting the ball. To play, simply set up ten empty water bottles or cones in a triangle formation. Then, give the kids a pickleball and have them take turns trying to knock down the bottles. The child who knocks down the most bottles wins.

The child who makes the most mistakes is out.

6. Pickleball Red Light, Green Light

This game is a fun way to practice reaction time and following directions. To play, simply stand at one end of the playing area and have the kids stand at the other end. Call out "green light" and the kids can start walking towards you. When you call out "red light," the kids must stop moving. Any child who moves when you call out "red light" is out. The first child to reach you wins.
