A limbo contest

Bend
backwards

For teenagers and grown-ups a limbo contest is fun and very entertaining.

A new, up-to-the-minute version of this game is String Thing Limbo.

At the click of a button the multi-coloured string whizzes into action creating a fluorescent arch that all the picnickers will have to lean backwards and dance through. You don't even need a stereo as the string machine has its own music to get you shaking to the groove!

limbostring For only $25.95 it's dead clever and will turn any picnic into a party everyone will remember for a long time - even if it's because half of them ended up in traction!

For the original version you need a pole and a music machine of some kind. Then two people should be in charge of holding the pole. Each participant has to walk under the pole.

A 6' Bamboo Limbo Set costs around $19.50

and £24.49 in the UK for Garden Limbo

Start with the pole high enough so that everyone can clear it easily. Then once everyone has passed under the pole, the pole holders need to lower it by a couple of inches.

With the pole lower, they must bend backwards to clear it and they are not allowed to bend their knees. Anyone who cannot clear the pole is eliminated from the game.

As the pole is lowered, only the most flexible players will remain. The winner is the last remaining person to pass under the pole.
