No. 4 - Minibasketball
How to prepare the game
This game consists of the two tops of the PET bottles, where the round-shape holes were cut out. We put the hose-pipe to the both bottle tops so the handles are created (according to the picture). The rubber band is placed on the bottle necks. The rubber band is of the 2-3 mm diameter, this kind we could buy usually in the haberdashery.
How to run the game
We put a ping-pong ball in a bottle top. The player holds one bottle top in one hand and the second one in the second hand. He/she stretches the rubber band so the kind of a rail is made. The player has to move the ball from the bottle top, he throws it out of it to the rail, then he has to transport it to the second bottle top and throw the ball up into the second bottle top. He has to catch the ball to the second bottle top. In the next part of the game the player has to move the ball back to the rail, between the two bottle tops. Then the player releases the stretched rubber band by bringing the two bottle tops closer to each other. When he/she looses the rubber band, the ball falls down. Under the rail, on the ground, there is a bottle, which was cut in to the half. The bottom part of the bottle is placed on the ground in the vertical level. Player scores when the ball falls into the bottle placed under the rail.
