Advantages: Cheap, good exercise, easy to play, fun.
Disadvantages: none!
This unique and fun game involves throwing a ball to another person and they catch it on a round velcro pad. It sounds pretty simple but it is one of the most fun outdoor games I have bought for my younger sister. I bought this when she was about 7, but now aged 13 she still loves to play - in fact, my entire family do! (Although not with the same game as I originally bought as this got ruined one day in the rain!)
I bought this game in Home Bargains for a really low price, from memory I think it was £3.99, but I can't be sure of that.
The game has a set of two discs/pads, which have a handle on the back for holding, and 1 ball. Both the ball and the discs are brightly coloured in green and pink, which makes it all the more fun. The ball looks just like a furry tennis ball, but it is actually much lighter than a tennis ball which is excellent if you accidentally get hit with it because it doesn't hurt much at all! This is great as it is obviously designed with children in mind.
The game is great for children of all ages, as you can stand as close to the other person or as far apart as you like. For adults, it's a fun challenge to stand really far apart and see what distance you can catch the ball on your disc from. Standing close together works for younger children as it makes the game a little easier.
The game is a great form of exercise if you play it outdoors, as it means you can throw the ball in all directions and go running and jumping around to try and catch it.
Overall, a really fun game for the entire family. Although it may seem simple, it is some of the most fun you can have running around outside! And a bargain, go buy it!
Tip: Don't get the game wet, as the ball will not stick to the disc if either are wet. Discovered this whilst trying to play whilst it was raining!
Summary: A really fun, simple game for a low price!
