All Table Games All Table Games All The Time

Ping-pong dialogue is where the characters shoot dialogue back and forth between each other in quick succession- just like its namesake suggests. Example:

“Hi,” said Kirk.
“How are you?” Mindy replied.
“Good.” Kirk shot back.

If you’re trying to make it more descriptive, try to describe what the characters are doing while they’re talking. Example:

Kirk sighed, dumping his schoolbag next to the table. “Hi, Mindy.”

Mindy looked up distractedly from where she was painting her fingernails. “Hi, Kirk. How was school?”

“Good.” He shot back defensively, making a beeline for the refrigerator.

As always, “show”, don’t “tell”. (i.e. instead of saying “he was angry”, say “he slammed his fist against the wall and let out a scream”.)

I hope this has helped.
