Bilboquet

For this game each participant needs the following materials: an empty yoghurt cup, a string, a wooden bead, scissors and colorful pencils. Let the participants color the outside of the yoghurt cup. After that you poke a hole through the bottom of the cup. Thread the string through the hole and tie a knot in the inside of the cup. The other end of the string is threaded through the wooden bead and fastened with a square knot. The longer the string between bead and cup the harder the game is. Ask the participants to hold the cup in their hand. With swinging motions, the participants should try to catch the bead in their cup. Especially children in South America like playing this bead-game. Particularly suitable for smaller groups. If there is a high number of participants several competing teams can be formed.
