Both children and adults have been playing a version of cup-and-ball since it was created in the s. Still popular today, cup-and-ball is a game of hand-eye coordination, skill, and luck. Children have played it for fun and to improve their motor skills. Adults play it for fun and as a betting game too!
Cup and ball toys consist of a cup on one end of a stick with a ball tied to the bottom of the stick. The string tethers the ball to the stick to ensure that players have a limited height at which the ball can be tossed. To play, simply hold the stick in one hand and with the opposite hand toss the ball in the air and attempt to catch it in the cup. Start with the ball in the cup. Use the cup to launch the ball upward and try to catch it back in the cup.
See how many times you can land the ball back in the cup in a row. Playing the game might seem simple, but winning requires some luck and skill!
