Does anyone know the name of this game?

[TIAMOMMA]

I was at a community event last week and an organization had a game that my son loved, but I don't know what its name is. It's colored plastic bowls that are numbered. The kids stand on them and they need to pick them up in order without falling off of the bowl they are standing on. I went through over 2000 items on Amazon under "outside toys" and came up short. Everyone is so helpful here I thought maybe someone might know.

I'm trying to figure out how you pick up a bowl you are standing on....

 

[TIAMOMMA]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. You are standing on two bowls simultaneously and you have to lift the appropriate foot and grab the bowl while balancing on the other foot, if you fall you are out (or lost, one or the other).

I'm curious about this too, it sounds pretty interesting???

It looks like it is - it's the same idea. Any idea what the name of the toy is? Thanks - I'm curious how you ever found that!

I don't know what it's called. I just googled some of the words describing the game and got that.

Hmm...I didn't even get that far when I googled. Thanks for your help.

Do you think it was something home made that they did???? It sounds like a lot of fun for kids.

I don't think so, the numbers were imprinted on the bowls and it does look an awful lot like the patent drawings. Darn, I wanted to help him be able to put it on his Santa's list.

I would contact the coordinators of the event and ask them, maybe also try to get in touch with the organization that had this particular game in their booth/area.

Good luck, it looks fun.

My dd had something like these in her gymnastics class at the local community center. Although hers were different colors with no numbers. Hopefully it's a start though.

I know what you are talking about. They have them at my son's Physical therapy, I have also seen them in a catalog I have at home. I think they also have them at discountschoolsupply.com they are a sensory/gross motor balance pods....

I couldnt find them but I did find these...

Thanks Tnkr Bell & Tiggger, but it's not it, unfortunately. They look like flat bottomed bowls and are made of hard plastic and they have numbers on the top.

I wish I asked someone that day what they were, I'm not sure which organization put it out there for the kids to play with.

Is this it? Hyper Dash?

I think I need to give up, I've been looking for this game-set for ages (googling 'bowl' + other terms brings up football games or bowling lanes) and no luck. I think you might get some results if you contact the event-sponsors and explain what you're looking for.

Thanks everyone, no, it's not HyperDash, I came across that also, I am thinking that could be an option if I don't come across with it. I just wish I paid attention to the organization that had it out for the kids to play with.

I appreciate everyone trying so hard to help.

Were you there with anyone else, other than your kids? Any other adults? Run into any friends there? if you know of *any* other adults that went, give them a call & see if they can remember or maybe if they can help you in some way.
