This is a great game that you can play with your friends.

You need a large water bottle, a small bottle and a disposable plastic salad bowl.
Start by carefully cutting the bottom away from the small bottle.
Place the cut-down bottle on top of the plastic bowl, and draw all the way around.
Make a hole within the circle you've drawn on the plastic bowl by using a sharp pencil.

Then cut out the circle so that you have a hole in your bowl which looks something like this.
Also, carefully cut the rim away from the plastic bowl.
Place the cut-down bottle over the neck of the large water bottle and secure it in place with some sticky tape.
Now slide the plastic bowl over the top, to create a dolphin nose shape.
Add a couple of fins to either side.

These are just cut from cardboard.
To make the spinner, you need a small sized, empty crisp tube.

Fill it with sand.

You also need to stick an old CD to the lid of the crisp tube.
Pop the lid on, and turn the whole thing over so that the CD and lid are facing down.
Get hold of another crisp tube lid, and stick it onto the other end of the upturned crisp tube.

With a bit of luck, it should spin freely!
Stick the dolphin's body on the lid, making sure that its weight is evenly balanced on both sides.
Now you can paint the dolphin.

For ideas on colouring, check out some wildlife magazines or do an Internet search to get some pictures.
When you've finished, your dolphin should look something like this!
The base of this one has been painted to look like the sea bed, with sand, bubbles and some underwater plants.
The forfeits are made from thick card, cut into fish shapes.

Attach some thick fishing line or thread, and also attach a bead which will act as a handle with which you can pull the forfeit out.
Here are some ideas for forfeits...
