No. 5 - PET-GULI
Original game for children and adults, that can be manufactured and decorated by yourself (with self-adhesive tapes or indelible felt-tips).
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE GAME
You need the plastic bottles, used for beverages, to prepare this game. The best choice would be the smooth surfaced bottle with no twists on it. Cut the top of the first bottle, insert it vice versa into the first bottle, stick the borders by the plastic adhesive tape and put the bullets into the bottle through the hole in the top of the bottle neck. The best choice is to use five glass bullets with the diameter of about 15 mm for this game. Then cut the bottom of the second plastic bottle, insert it into the first bottle to close it, so the bullets stay in the bottle. The cut parts match the cut bottom of the bottle. Use again the plastic adhesive tape to join the borders. See the pictures that will help you to construct the game-bottle.
HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
The player holds the constructed game-bottle in the vertical way in his/her hand. He/she throws up the bullets in the bottle and tries to get the bullets, one by one, into the bottom part through the hole of the bottle top which was put vice versa into the game-bottle. When all the bullets fall into the bottom part the game is over. Then turn the game-bottle to make the bullets to come back and you (or another player) start(s) to play again.
THE SCORES
The player who puts all the bullets into the bottom part with the least shots (throws) is the winner. Another player (or the teacher) counts the number of shots. For unprejudiced score results I recommend to repeat the game three times and then to divide the scores by three. To make the game shorter it is possible to set the fix of maximal shots number. The number of shots plus the number of home in bullets equals the total score of the player. The way of scoring could be created by the players themselves.
