The Air Hogs Vectron Wave - 5 Birthday Party Games For Children
By William Stroup
The Air Hogs Vectron Wave is a child friendly hovercraft with special obstacle sensors that allow it to respond to your hands or any other flat surface. After placing it on a flat surface such as a table or floor, you can slip your hand under it. By lifting your hand, the hovercraft will rise while lowering your hand will make it drop; similar movement happens when you slowly move your hand left or right. This type of interaction lends itself well to traditional birthday party games for children. The Vectron Wave can be used in variations of Simon says, hot potato, musical pillows, telephone and limbo.
In Simon says, the traditional rules apply while an adult should be Simon. But, there is a twist. Simon can only say: Move Up, Down, Left, Right or Hover; in response, if Simon says, the child uses his hand to make the hovercraft move up, down, left or right. Of course, if Simon did not say, or the wrong movement is made, the child is done. This game can be done as a group, or individually.
When I was younger, I played hot potato with my grandparents. We would pass a bean-filled sock around while 1950’s music played. When the song ended, whoever had the sock had to do a simple task, usually a silly one. In this variation, the hovercraft is passed from child to child. The best way to do this is for one child to guide the craft near the next child who, in turn, puts his hand over the other and takes the craft. Do choose music that will not be too distracting.
A variation of the hot potato is the game musical pillows. The hovercraft is still passed from child to child while music plays. But, when the music is done, whoever has the hovercraft is out. This process continues only one person is left; he or she is the winner and given a reward.
Telephone and limbo are two games best played outdoors; though, they can be done indoors. For telephone, the children are spread out, preferably in a straight line (this is why outdoors is best). Instead of passing a phrase from person to person like the traditional game, you instead pass the hovercraft. In limbo, the children will not be going under a rope or stick; they will maneuver the hovercraft under it. Just like in the traditional game, whoever can not get their craft under the stick is out; the sole survivor is the winner.
Though the Air Hogs Vectron Wave is a hovercraft, its ability to respond to hands makes it useful in a lot of traditional children’s games. With just a little bit of creativity, you can add zest to a traditional party and entertain yourself, other parents and all the little ones.
