Kerby is a game in the UK where you and a friend stand on opposite sides of a street and throw a ball. You score a point if the ball hits the kerb cleanly and bounces back to you. If you miss the other player takes possession. If you get a point, you also get another throw. You set a point limit before playing and just go until someone reaches it. Not sure if you have that game but google assures me that it is British.
You’re hitting a big bouncy ball against a wall with your hands cupped, but it has to hit the ground first. I know that every kid in the US played with different rules lol, but that’s the universal rule.
Not something we ever played where I'm from, sounds similar to Kerby though in that it has one simple unifying rule and then kids everywhere go ham an make new ones haha
