ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a fish swallowing game comprises the steps of placing a hollow fish shaped receptacle (10) in water, with the receptacle (10) having a mouth opening (16) which is placed in water so as to be partly depressed below the level (22) of the water and at an angle with respect thereto for collecting water therethrough. The opening (16) is partly depressed for ensuring that the water level (24) of any collected water flowing into the receptacle (10) will be below the water level (22) of the water in which the receptacle (10) has been placed for creating a waterfall effect flow (28) of collected water from the water level (22) of the water in which the receptacle (10) has been placed to the water level (24) of any collected water in the interior (14) of the receptacle (10). The opening (16) has a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the fish shaped objects (12) in the water so as to limit the collection of the objects (12) to one at a time through the opening (16). The smaller fish (12) are drawn into the interior of the larger fish (10) through the opening (16) along with the collected water due to the waterfall flow effect of the collected water (28). The larger fish (10) may be externally squeezed to create a partial vacuum within the interior (14) to further aid in capturing the fish (12) through the restricted opening (16). The larger fish (10) may also be used on dry land or in connection with supplementary targets (42, 44) to enhance the game.
