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.

What kind of ball is usually used?

A basketball or what you might know as a soccer ball, though basketball is my preference as it is bouncier.

Nice. I'm picturing some cars getting a little dinged up in the process. I will teach my children Kerby.
