Get a Head

Head Case Basketball Game

Tired? Brain dead? Fancy a cheap laugh?

Use your nut.

Head Case, a game for all ages, is similar to basketball, only it’s played with a) water bombs and b) your head.

Play with any number of people, anywhere you like. (May we suggest a post-work session on the pavement outside, in the local park or, perhaps, in the office loos once the grown-ups have gone home?)

Each player straps a mini basket on his/her head to catch water bombs thrown by his/her opponents. The person who catches the most balloons wins. If you don’t want to get completely drenched, try it with nonbrain-damaging equipment such as tennis balls, rolls of Sellotape, bulldog clips, lightweight shoes or scrunched-up wastepaper from the recycling bin.

Could you imagine a more inspirational team-bonding exercise?

Probably not off the top of your head.
