The players all have velcro balls that they throw at the
other
player's eyes. If they hit their mark, they stick to the
grid
of velcro catch strips on the front of the goggles. Once
enough
balls have hit these goggles and stuck, the player can't
see
anymore and he looses.
The winner
is the last player that didn't have his eyes
"put
out".
This would be the world's first game where kids throw
things at the faces of other kids with the goal of blinding
them.

[+] Is there a part where we run with scissors, and/or make faces
while the wind changes? |

Well there you go, this is a safe version. |
|
|
Occurs to me, these would be soft rubber with a
jelly or very soft putty like interior so the balls
would flatten out and a) have more surface area to
stick to the goggles and b) spread out more to
better occlude the view through the goggles. |
|
|
For added effect you could have the projectiles be
roughly dart shaped. |
|
|
...or somewhat explosive. |
|
|
Is this pushing it? Have see through eyes painted on
the front of the goggles with targets on them? Too
much? |

Can we make the Velcro balls explosive, like "throw down"
fireworks? |
|
|
No, but if we bend the middle match from many packs of matches underneath each pack so that the match-head rests against the striker, then fold the outer cover over them and tape the crap out of each one individually we can play with exploding throwing-stars! |
|
|
Throw in a few roman candles, crab-apple slingshots and some home-made shoelace aglet blow-darts and you've got some very fond childhood memories of mine. |
|
|
Goggles? Tsh... just squint. It was hard enough to swipe the match-packs, fireworks and tape without getting caught. We have no tips on any of the shoes in our house now and mom's got no needles anymore so we're in royal shit when she finds out. |
|
|
Goggles? Don't be such a wuss... |
|
|
We just used slingshots and peach seeds. I can clearly recall
Darryl Perkins, with a peach seed hanging from his cheek, just
below his eye, by that little spike on the bottom of the seed. |
|
|
We got into a bit of trouble that day. |
|
|
ThrowDown crackers were much more fun in a slingshot. |
