Cup and ball
Originally uploaded by James Wellock.
Cup and ball is around 500 years old and was first played by the Tudors under the name of Bilbo Catcher. It was a simple design made out of wood and a bit of string. It wasn't till the Victorians got hold of it that it gained colour. The modern version is now made out of plastic and instead of string a spring is used to propel the ball into the air. The basic principle of the game is to get the ball in the cup as many times as you can within a certain time limit.
