Spikeball is volleyball and foursquare combined into one game

When it’s nice out, we need to take as much advantage of the weather as possible. Before Fall hits, we should soak up the suns rays, and the best way to do that is by doing something fun outside! There are a million and one different yard games you can play, or you can go for an all-out sport such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, or football.

If you want to play a game that will make you work up a sweat, but doesn’t require you to run yourself crazy, then why not get something that has the best of both worlds? Spikeball is like a cross between volleyball and foursquare. This only takes up a little more space than a game of foursquare would, and requires the setting and spiking skills of volleyball for you to come out victorious. It requires far less running on your part, but makes you pay a bit more attention, as the ball is much smaller than a volleyball or dodgeball.

This set comes with the Spikeball net, which sits at about ankle level, three balls, a carrying bag, and a set of rules. This is going to cost you $59.99 and looks like it could be a fun game to play for kids and adults alike. The best part about this game is that you don’t have to worry about setting up a net or finding a free court to play on. While it is supposed to be 2 on 2, there’s nothing wrong with bending the rules to add in more than four people or more than one ball.

The Rurudo Fan Shade keeps you safe come rain or shine

When you think of an umbrella, you immediately recall needing one if it rains. Of course, in places where the temperature is regularly hot enough to cook an egg on the road, an umbrella can be used to keep the sun off of you so your skin doesn’t feel like it’s boiling. While most just rely on sunscreen to keep their skin safe, there’s nothing wrong with wanting a little extra protection from the sun.

This Rurudo Fan Shade is going to help you keep away from harmful UV rays while staying cool at the same time. This is a parasol, umbrella for rain, and a fan that will keep you dry, cool, and away from a sun tan should you be trying to steer clear from that sort of thing. The canopy is made of cotton and polyester with a water-repellant finish, which means you’ll be safe from a decent drizzle, but will likely have some water coming through if it’s an all-out downpour.

This is rather frilly and cute, but for it to work you’ll need to have 4 AA batteries handy to make sure the fan keeps going. You’ll be able to turn the fan on or off through a button on the handle. I can forsee someone accidentally hitting the switch on a rainy day and getting a cool blast of air that will make the chill seem far worse, but possibly more terrifying is the chance of getting your hair stuck in the fan. If it’s a risk you’re willing to take, then it’s going to cost you $110.
