Many people play table tennis. People also call it ping pong. A table tennis table has a net in the middle. You need a ping pong ball, a friend and some paddles. Hold up the ball and hit it with your paddle. The ball goes over the net. Then your friend hits it back to you. It can move quickly! So sometimes you miss the ball.
