GaGa Ball for Birthdays | Host the Ultimate Party

Is your birthday right around the corner? Are you stuck thinking of ways on how to make your next birthday party uniquely unforgettable? Consider incorporating a Gaga Ball Pit into your celebration. They’re not just for schoolyards–they’re the ultimate indoor / outdoor activity that brings excitement and laughter to guests of all ages.

Keep reading to see why GaGa Pits are great for birthdays and other parties, see how easy setup and take down is with portable pits, and learn some hosting tips.

Why Choose Gaga Ball?

Gaga Ball is a fast-paced, inclusive game that everyone can enjoy, making it perfect for birthday parties. Check out the rules here if you’re unfamiliar. 

The pit’s low-walled octagonal or hexagonal design allows players to dodge, jump, and strike the ball, aiming to stay in the game while having a great time. It’s easy to learn and, at the same time, provides endless entertainment however old or young you are.

Create the Ultimate Birthday with Portable Pits

Imagine the thrill of watching your guests compete in friendly Gaga Ball matches, surrounded by festive decorations and the joyous atmosphere of a birthday celebration.

Gaga Ball Pits are versatile and can be set up in most outdoor spaces and many indoor spaces. For example, Calvary Baptist Church purchased the portable APS GaGa2Go for the kids to play in, but it’s also easy for one person to take it down and store the GaGa Pit out of the way.

Watch Josiah, the Student Pastor at Calvary, easily set up and take the pit down in the video below:

Some Tips for Hosting a Gaga Ball Pit Party

  1. Decorate the area around the pit with balloons and banners to enhance the birthday party vibe.
  2. To ensure safety, go over the rules and / or have them hanging near the pit:
    • Use open hands to hit the ball
    • Hit opponents with the ball below the waist (or knee in some versions) to eliminate them
    • The first eliminated player now opens and closes the gate for other eliminated players for the remainder of the game (if the pit includes a gate)
    • After touching the ball, the player must wait until the ball hits another player or wall to touch it again
    • Keep the ball in bounds (in the pit)
    • When one player has eliminated all other players, they win
  3. Organize friendly tournaments or free-play sessions to keep the energy high.
  4. Have one adult’s only game to encourage participation.
  5. Keep guests fueled with snacks and refreshments conveniently located near the GaGa Ball Pit for breaks between games.
