Franklin Sports Bucketz Jumbo Portable Bucket Toss Game — 12-Pack Blue/Yellow, Includes 3 Balls & Carry Bag

Franklin Sports Bucketz is a jumbo, portable pong-style game set of weighted plastic buckets and tennis balls built for outdoor parties, tailgates, beaches and backyards.

Bucketz ups the classic cup-and-ball party game by replacing cups with oversized, durable buckets you partially weight and try to knock out with tennis balls. The set includes 12 colorful buckets, three balls and a carry bag so you can set up quick team play anywhere. Rules are simple and easy to teach, making this a lively addition to social gatherings, family outings and casual competitions.

How do you play Bucketz and set it up quickly?

Play is fast to learn: divide into two teams, place the buckets in the opposing formation, and partially fill each bucket with sand or water to stabilize it. Players take turns tossing tennis balls to knock opponents' buckets out of play; the first team to eliminate all opposing buckets wins. Setup only takes a few minutes and the included carry bag keeps everything together between games.

• Fill each bucket about one-quarter full with water, sand or small weights to steady it.
• Arrange buckets in opposing lines or triangles depending on space and team size.
• Take turns throwing the included tennis balls to try and topple enemy buckets.
• Game ends when one team clears the other team's buckets; repeat rounds for tournament play.

What’s included and what makes the components durable?

The package contains six blue buckets, six yellow buckets, three tennis balls and a compact carry bag for storage and transport. The buckets are large-format plastic designed to resist cracking from typical outdoor use, and the tennis balls are sized to create reliable, predictable tosses. The carry bag keeps parts together and makes the set easy to bring to parks, beaches or tailgates.

• 12 jumbo plastic Bucketz in two colors for easy team ID.
• Three standard tennis balls sized for consistent toss performance.
• A zippered carry bag to hold all pieces and simplify transport.
• Sturdy plastic construction intended for repeated outdoor play.

Where can you use Bucketz and how portable is it?

Bucketz was designed for mobile fun: the lightweight pieces pack into the included carry bag so you can take the game to beaches, parks, tailgates and backyards. Because the buckets require only a quarter-fill to remain stable, you don’t need heavy gear to play on sand or grass. When not in use, the parts nest and store compactly in limited trunk or closet space.

• Carry bag simplifies transport to beaches, tailgates and tailgates.
• Buckets nest for compact storage in cars or closets.
• Partial fill requirement avoids hauling heavy equipment.
• Suitable for soft surfaces like sand and grass with stable weighting.

How does Bucketz add variety to gatherings and group sizes?

Because you can vary bucket arrangement, team sizes and win conditions, Bucketz adapts to groups from casual two-player matches to larger party tournaments. Use different throwing distances, add elimination rounds, or create handicap rules to balance skill differences. The colorful, oversized buckets make the game visible across large outdoor spaces and encourage spectator involvement.

• Flexible rules let you play quick matches or multi-round tournaments.
• Adjustable distances and formations tailor difficulty and pace.
• Bright colors increase visibility for players and onlookers.
• Works with small families up to large tailgate groups.

Who is this for: Franklin Sports Bucketz is ideal for anyone who wants a low-prep, high-energy outdoor party game — families, college students, tailgaters, beachgoers and backyard hosts. If you enjoy social games that are easy to teach, transportable and entertaining for mixed-age groups, Bucketz offers a big-play twist on classic pong with durable components and portable storage.
