Basketball H-O-R-S-E Directions

Have you heard of the game H-O-R-S-E? No not the animal, but a timeless basketball gamed enjoyed by players of all skill levels. H-O-R-S-E requires players to take turns duplicating each other’s shots from anywhere on the court. These shots can include tricks, so use your imagination to create fun shots!

To begin the game, pick a player to go first. That player gets to do anything they want before shooting. If they want to spin around five (5) times and then hop up and down before shooting, they can do it. They make the rules! If they hit their shot, the other players have to do the exact same thing. But if they miss, the next player gets to make up their own wacky shot for the others to try. Any player that can’t make the first person’s shot gets the letter H. Everyone keeps playing the game and making up crazy shots until someone misses enough times to spell out the word H-O-R-S-E. The player who does not spell H-O-R-S-E is the winner.
