We sometimes invent our own games and as we have recently got a puppy we have formed what we think is a great little game.
We call it Flingshot!
You use the dog ball flinger (you need two) and you find a park with trees about 50m-100m apart.
One stands in front of one tree and the other person in front of the other tree. Object of the game is to score points by hitting the trunk of the opposition player's tree with the ball (you fling from a standing position).
You take it in turns flinging the ball. If you hit the tree you score 10 points. Nothing for a miss.
The opposition player though also has to try and stop the ball hitting the tree. If they touch the ball, thus preventing it from hitting the tree they score 2 points. If they actually catch the ball they score 5 points.
Flingshot! Coming to an Olympics near you real soon.
Trying to occupy a 12 year old for 6 1/2 weeks is tough at the best of times. She loves this game though.
Any inventions of your own?
