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!
