If you were a child in the late 1960’s and/or early 1970’s you would remember ‘Clackers’.

They are two giant balls attached by a sturdy string with a ring in the centre.  You put your finger in the ring allowing the marbles or balls to hang below.  This is when the fun starts.

The idea is to get the two balls tapping (or clacking if you prefer) against each other by pulling up on the ring lightly.

Once you go the hang of it, you can get them going faster and faster until they were smacking each other above and below your hand in a stunning arc and making the delicious ‘clacking sound’ that I’m sure all will love!
