Getting kids to use their creativeness: Using Freaky flickers to invent new games, game boards, new characters etc.

Gant Turn LLC, the manufacturer of Freaky Flickers, believes that Freaky Flickers are the future’s hottest collectible fad. Kids can nail targets, knock things over, or just watch the colorful faces wobble bizarrely across the floor, by just flicking the characters. The attachments of Freaky Flickers game pieces make the plastic-rubber characters rock, block, spin, slide and bounce. The colorful assortment of animals, robots, ninjas and monsters from the first Freaky Flickers series, are part of an exclusive package, which includes 4 Blister packs, 1 book and 1 carrying bag. 1 blister pack contains 4 Freaky Flickers, 4 stickers and a mini checklist. The book’s sample games and complete collection of Freaky Flickers, is included.

Currently the 4 packs that are sold contain 40 different characters to collect. These small gum ball sized toys that are soft rubber shaped and molded in different colorful characters such as Robo, Aargh!, Smiley and more can be flicked, bounced or rolled off walls, game boards or whatever by kids of all ages. Some very creative things can be done to promote this product through the racing program.

With Freaky Flickers’ Brick Wall you can create your own Brick Wall by carefully cutting out slots in the wall and add little ledges where you put the victims. Make a little ramp, to knock off the victims off the ledges, by flicking the flicker up the ramp. You can set up three enemy Flickers on the ledges, regardless of the number of players. Tap your “Shooter” up the ramp and into the wall, and score one point every time you knock a victim off the wall. Also, in Basket Bounce, you can make a playing field with a cardboard piece. Get and number three cups as 1, 2, and 3 for scoring points. Create a starting point by drawing or using something. Get the flicker into a cup by letting it bounce behind the starting point. You can also make a bullseye game by getting a small box. Take off its two sides, and make target rings with points. Choose your 3 favorite Flickers and bounce them at the box one at a time from a distance of three feet. Hit the bullseye and double your score for every wall the Flicker hits..

A librarian whose kids have Freaky Flickers narrated that her kids love their Freaky Flickers collection. Freaky Flickers’ inventors program came to her kids’ school and shared their experience as being an inventor who had to do trials and errors and successes as well as marketing, in bringing an idea to the store shelves. Since then, the librarian’s kids have enhanced their creativity, by drawing characters making games to play with their Freaky Flickers. Her kids want to be inventors, who will follow the footsteps of Thomas Edison. Freaky Flickers sound really cool, and could be the new craze for kids all over the world.
