Another high point of a convention is the games, often at the end of the parade, all the convention goers will take over a large area of public land & host our equivalent of the Olympics. Loads of games are played for every conceivable prop, popular ones include:
Three ball, three club & unicycle gladiators Diabolo high toss Devilstick propeller endurance Handstand endurance Long distance passing Five ball endurance
On top of that you will get the chance to play all manner of bizarre games such as;
diabolo nose push, a race where you have to push a diabolo along the ground with your nose.
Stredging, which I couldn't possibly explain. The juggling beast, you play in teams of four & the idea is to juggle as many objects as a team while having as few feet on the floor as possible, the winner is usually the best looking beast & not the one that best fulfills the criteria!
The traditional finale of the games is the Big toss up, where all the convention goers gather together and on the count of three throw their props in the air. This can make a nice photograph.
If you want to give prizes for your games then don't forget to either tell your Games Organiser to get some beforehand or buy them in advance and give them to her/him. Alternatively (or in addition), you can ask your traders to donate prizes.
