If you are throwing a pickleball party you might want to have some fun themed games too!! Here are some PDF pickleball game printables you can play at a birthday or just because. With a sports theme we have a word search, bingo, word scramble, maze, dice game and a fun pickleball game for the court!
I have a lot of pickleball printables on my site because they are SO popular. Here I have a lot that are focusing on games! Some are meant for the court where you can make a game more fun with silly things every player must do before, during or after hitting the ball while others are more for kids.
Fun Pickleball Games with Friends
Let’s start with two that focus on game play. You may be familiar with the dice game at Christmas time where you roll a die and do what it says on the sheet. With that one you typically pass a gift to the right, left, open it or exchange with a friend. Here you still roll dice, one of them, and do what it says on the sheet for that game or until you roll it again to change the activity. Print this fun pickleball game (seen above) here and bring to the court.
I created a similar one that looks more like a printable board game though you can see below. You would need to bring one die to roll and markers, one for each team or person. You could have each person on the team roll separately so everyone is doing something different on the court, or one per team. I mean this funny pickleball game with friends will make you crack up!!!
If you are not familiar with printables all you do is click on the link of the one you want (in blue). The page you want will pop up in a new tab (easier to do on a desktop or laptop vs your phone). Then go to file, print, choose how many you want and print on your printer!! You can choose just black and white or color. We use HP Ink so it doesn’t matter which, we just pay per page per month so we can use color for everything.

And then I created something that looks more like a board game (above). You will still need a dice with a marker, one for each player. You could just use coins for markers, small candies or grab some from another game like Monopoly. 2-4 players can join in at a time and it plays a bit like Chutes and Ladders. You can grab this free pickleball board game to play here.
A while back I made this fun Pickleball Word Search which is on the more educational side of things and great for the classroom if you are a teacher. There is a key at the bottom of the page with the hidden words so you can cross them off when found.
Pickleball Party Games
A few months ago I created this Pickleball Bingo with a few different versions so everyone doesn’t win at once. Kids could easily play this as well as adults so it is great for a party for sure. With different pictures that everyone can identify, just print out one extra, cut out each box, put into a hat and pick one out to announce to the players.
Another fun one you could make into a competition would be this pickleball word scramble. Just set a timer and whomever finds the most words when it goes off wins! You can just award a new ball or whatever, or string a ball on a ribbon to go around the winners neck which is funny. LOL (answers are on bottom of sheet upside down, you can have it folded down so it can’t be seen when played though)
Pickleball Jeopardy Game
Now if you love Trivia Pursuit type of question and answer games then you will love pickleball jeopardy you see here below. You could easily play as teams or just one on one. It is fun to see how many answers you can get yourself but it could be created into a competition for sure.
Pickleball Games for Kids
When it comes to kids specifically I have another one that can be great for them. If they are really young then just print out some Pickleball Images for them with a box of crayons or colored pencils. They are also great for decorating if you are having a get together.
And then here is another for them!! Going with this game theme of course, I then created a pickleball maze printable. I mean so fun right?? It is better to use something finer like a pencil, fine marker or colored pencil so you can see where you are going. Best is a pencil so you can erase it if you get to a point and realize it isn’t right so you have to start over.
I hope you enjoy one or all of these pickleball games I have created. I am always open to creating others if you have ideas. Send me an email at [email protected] and let me know your thoughts and I will do my best to get on it.
