For popcorn basketball, all you have to do is throw each popcorn into a small designated hoop to score a point. This hoop can be a rubber band or something crafted with paper, don’t need to be so zhun. On the other hand, popcorn air hockey and popcorn race are relatively similar. By using paper to blow the popcorn, these games can be easily played on the coffee or dining table.
