Table tennis is a game where 2 or 4 people use racquets to move a ball from one side to another across a net. It is played on a table.  It is a very fun game that can be played by anyone. Also, playing table tennis is good for our health. 

Also known as Ping Pong, Table tennis has a very rich history. It was first played in England almost 200 years ago. Earlier, rich people used to play this game. It became very popular and became an Olympic event in 1988.
