Hair Ball -aka- Hair Hockey

The kids invented a new game a few months ago while we were sitting around the table, twiddling our fingers in that bored lull you sometimes get after a good time of conversation.

Maelan had cleaned out her hairbrush and thrown the puff of hair onto the table. Robin picked it up, twirled it around a bit, and Hair Ball was born. We also called it Hair Hockey. (Get it?)

The rules of play are similar to table football, except that we found it more fun to expand the boundaries to the edges of the table. You flick the hair puff and if it goes off the opposite side of the table, you score. Opposing players try to keep it in play on the table surface. For fun, you can also shout, "Hairball!", when it goes off the edge.

Very fun night. Much laughter and hilarity. Cheap and simple, too. Did I mention environmentally friendly? ha ha
