Muggle Quidditch

The one activity Colwyn insisted we do at his party was Quidditch. So we found the rules for Muggle Quidditch and decided to give it a try. We had one red kickball that was the Quaffle, two smaller balls that were the Bludgers, and a Golden Snitch. At first we just put the Snitch behind the goalposts, which were two hula hoops hung from trees. But that proved way too easy.. much more fun was having an actual person be the Snitch and run around, trying to dodge the seekers. All of the positions were the same (chaser, beater, keeper, seeker). If you got hit by a Bludger, you had to drop the Quaffle if you were holding it and freeze for 10 seconds.

We played several times. We didn't keep score because there was way too much going on. It was barely controlled chaos, but a LOT of fun.
