I saw a game on facebook where they had put a super bounce ball inside the 5" round with a loop to pass the ball through.

It got me thinking and I wanted a slightly harder game so came up with the bar where you have to balance the ball on top,
my ball is a balloon though so all latex.

It was difficult to photograph the clear balloon.

Thanks Lynn, the other one I was playing with was the hoop and pole, not sure what it's called, anyway version one did not work due to static.


I got the idea from a video posted by John Justice. The video where the ball just goes through the loop, not the one posted with my idea above.
There are now two videos up by John, one with the idea above.

This is another idea I came up with yesterday, version two that works nicely.
Can you see what the difference is that makes version two work?
I have some more ideas so will try to post them asap.

I had trouble taking pictures yesterday of the clear balloons and even more so today, perhaps I left it a little late.
I might try to take some better ones tomorrow in better daylight.

But you should get the idea.

Trying to get rid of the knot at the end of the balloon for a cleaner look. This is a fun game, I enjoyed trying to get the ring on the pole  :)
But then I'm easily pleased.

This is the hardest of the lot, It can be done, took me ages and then I did it twice in a row.

Will try and post a better picture tomorrow.

The balloon ball with the loop, catching the ball is doable but not too easy.
Must be a good game as someone has taken the catching the ball idea and posted a video on facebook already  :(

The ball in the second picture has gone down a little and is the most difficult game.
