Ping Pong Ball Challenge of Candy

Question: Describe about the ping pong ball challenge of candy. Answer: Ping pong ball challenge of candy is a great game that can be played by kids as well as grownups who have a sweet tooth for candy. It can be a major past time for the kids in the long holidays. It consists of very simple things i.e. a cup, ping pong balls, blank cards for the instructions and different kinds of candies for the kids resembling different cartoon characters. The requirements of the game to be played are very simple. One requires one or two cups, a package of ping pong balls, some spray paints which have been leftover from any other projects or can be borrowed from any teenager interested in finer arts. Some temporary tattoos, blank paper cards which can be drawed on and lots of candies. Some markers and pens are also required. The first job is to paint the cups in colorful and cheerful shades to make them more attractive as well as so that it can be seen from a distance. One can always avoid painting it in dark colors as they should be visible. Then one can pick out their favorite designs from the tattoo collection or there is the option for the kids to pick out their favorite tattoos from their own collection and fit it in the ping pong balls very nicely as if it is being placed in ones own skin. Pull the plastic clear of the tattoos and place it on the balls and press it with a damp cloth or sponge for 30 to 45 seconds firmly. Now one has to gently remove the paper of the temporary tattoos and smoothen it. The best way to smoothen a tattoo is holding it under running water. The next step is to draw instructions on the cards about what kind of shots one has to make after drawing a card to win the candies. There can be a lot of variations like one bounce shot or bouncing on the pot and shot, two bounces shot, wall reflection shots where the ball has to reflect on a wall and then be dropped into the cup. The level of difficulty of the game can be increased as eventually one keeps practicing it. More difficult shots like no see shot in which the thrower is not allowed to blindfold oneself just before taking the shot. Or the mirror shot where the cup will be placed at a distance from a mirror and one has to bounce the ball on the mirror and then it should be dropped on the cup. It will enhance the throwing skills as well as the analytical skills of the children. The base of the cup has to be sponged with cottons for the prevention of pop up of the balls. The sponging material might be cotton which shall be stuffed lightly on the base. The card numbers shall also represent the number of candies to be given on being successful and only one candy being given on being unsuccessful, since it is a childrens game. Everyone should be rewarded. References Cao, X. (2012). Moment of Inertia of a Ping-Pong Ball.The Physics Teacher,50(5), 292. doi:10.1119/1.3703546 Chiaverina, C. (2007).
