Greg
Kaler is The Games Guy. In his show, Greg demonstrates
unique, non-competitive games from around the world.
Then after his performance, the audience gets to play
all the games, as Greg brings lots extra of everything
for everyone to play with!
THE
GAMES:
From England:
Shuttleball is a game played using a huge
7 inch birdie with a large rubber ball on the end, that is
hit back and forth using racquetball racquets. If the shuttleball is missed in the air, it bounces! Hit it back on a bounce!
From Alaska:
Fling It Nets comes from the Alaskan game
Eskimo Toss, where a person is actually tossed up in the
air by others holding a large blanket made of animal hide.
Fling It uses a net with handles and an 8
inch soft knobby Gertie ball. This is a partner game.
There are 2
people per net, playing together to toss the ball high
in the air either to themselves, to another team of 2 people
holding another Fling It Net, or to The Big Net- a net
held by 6 people.
From China:
Jugglestix, originally called Devil Sticks,
the kids love to create tricks with these. The center
baton and 2 handsticks are covered with rubber, for
stick-ability, which makes it easier for the kids to
learn tricks.
From Africa:
The Diabolo, also called a Chinese yo-yo off the string.
This one is The Games Guy's favorite.
Only one hand is used to spin the rubber diabolo- the
hand you write with.
Throw
it up, catch it on the string! Or play catch with a
friend. Learn many tricks!
From South Africa:
The Snakeboard, when ridden looks
like sidewalk surfing. It's like a skateboard only the wheels
move on the end. This is an individual supervised
activity. Everyone likes to try this one!
Other games that are played:
Foxtail, Foam Boomerang
Throwing, Peacock Feather Balancing, Juggling with
Scarves/Bean Bag Balls/Foam Juggling Clubs,
Frisbee Golf, and People Juggling
(you'll have to see this one!)
Kids
and adults alike enjoy trying their hand at these unique
games after the show!
