Homemade Automatic Tennis Ball Launcher

I'm looking for ideas on how to make an automatic tennis ball launcher. I've checked out buygodoggo.com, and I love their automatic launcher, but there's no way I'm spending $300! I've read things online about potato guns and tennis ball cannons, but I don't want something that can shoot at 100mph or anything. Any ideas?

Stratego Game Using Deck Of Cards

I had this crazy idea of creating a stratego game using a standard deck of playing cards but I can't figure out how to do this. Do I need 1 or 2 decks of cards and how do I use them?

Make Your Own Board and Card Games

First, I need to say that this can become addicting especially if you are all ready a graphics junky. So don't say I did not warn you. On the internet there are many sites (Some educational, some not) that have free board games that you can print out and then glue the printouts to cardboard. The pieces are usually common household items. Go to the search engine "Google" and type in "Free Board Games" and you will be surprise at what pops up.

Homemade Outdoor Twister Game

Buy a tarp that has grommets at the corners. Use four tent stakes to hold it down. Paint on your colors for your circles. Make a spinner out of a paper plate with the paper clasp in the middle of the dial (like we did when we were in school). My kids love to take this to the park and my childrens' friends have even borrowed it to play at family reunions. Just make sure you get the stakes well into the ground so that no one gets hurt. I recommend the metal stakes rather the big fat plastic stakes. Plastic stakes are harder to get all the way in the ground a safe distance. By Debra in Colorado
