Pop-Up Pirate is a popular luck-based game
How to play:
-Touch the little pirate or shake to get number
-According the number, touch the swords
-If pirate launched, game is over
-Touch the barrel to restart the game
Rules:
The pirate is placed into a spring-loaded barrel and rotated to randomize the unlucky slot. Players must take it in turns to insert plastic swords into slots in the side of the barrel. If a player inserts the sword into a specific slot (which changes randomly every time the game is played), the pirate is launched out of the barrel and the player is out. The last player remaining after all others have been knocked out wins.
Educational value:
The game improves childrens motor skills, as well as in common with other games promoting turn-taking and having fun together with others.
