Basketball Games

I like to play basketball with my friends. We play basketball games like HORSE, Sevens, and PIG. In the game HORSE,  if you don't make a shot, you would get a letter of HORSE. The goal is for your opponents to miss shots so that they collect all of the letters of HORSE before you. In the game Sevens, everyone playing makes shots from the two pointer line (which is at least 10 feet away from the basketball hoop). You have to keep trying to make shots until someone misses. Every time someone makes a shot and successfully gets it in the basket, they get one point. Each player takes a turn shooting and the first player who misses a shot, collects all of the points from their opponents who have made baskets. The goal is to avoid keeping points. The first player who has seven points loses the game. The game PIG is just like HORSE except that there are less letters to collect. You can also play with any other word that you could make up, like sometimes we play JETS. I wonder what else you could think of!

Maybe one day you could come and play too!
