Abstract: An improved game apparatus is described. The game apparatus includes a plurality of game pieces that have been constructed to be tossed into the air and to float to the ground while the "Player" picks them from their airborne flight to accumulate points. One embodiment of the invention utilizes a resilient rubber ball as a timing device. The ball is thrown into the air or otherwise allowed to drop to the ground surface simultaneously with the game elements being made airborne. The game elements are plucked from the air before the ball can again contact the ground surface N times.

Abstract: A musical percussion instrument combining in a single instrument the striking tones of a clave, the jingling of a tambourine, and the rhythmic grating of a guiro. A wooden handle, doubling as a clave when struck by a striker element, is rigidly attached to a wooden carrier assembly containing apertures for loosely mounting jingles, thereby producing tambourine-like sounds when shaken. A serrated surface of the carrier assembly produces sounds similar to a guiro when the striker element is drawn across it.
