boxball
Sidewalk bouncing game
Boxball is a street game played with a rubber ball, popular in urban areas where space is limited.
Two players stand in adjacent sidewalk squares and take turns bouncing the ball into each other's box, similar to a simplified handball or tennis without rackets.
The game requires only a ball and existing pavement lines: We played boxball on the corner until dinner.
