Did you ever watch "The Bozo Show" on TV as a child? Occasionally, I saw it and the most memorable thing from the show was the "Grand Prize Game." Six buckets were lined up and the lucky kids on the show got a chance to toss the balls in the buckets for a chance to win the grand prize! What kid didn't want to play that game?Blue Rock brought me his bag of plastic balls today and said, "I want to play with these." I bought him a ball pit for his first birthday party and lots of balls to put in it. Sadly, we don't get the ball pit out that often or the balls. When he asked today to play with them, I thought, why not?! In fact, we could play a game like Bozo's grand prize game. Except, we would be using only 4 buckets, rather than 6, and they are different sizes. Blue Rock had a blast! He even created some new ways to play, such as sitting down and standing directly over the bucket, as well as tossing the balls from a distance.
After playing this a while, I found that you can actually buy the "original" game from Amazon. It's called: Rocket USA The Original Bozo Buckets Grand Prize Game. But for $30, I think we'll pass and just play with what we already have. =)
