Campouts, cookouts and summer evenings just got a little brighter with Sportcraft's new Fireball game.

The Fireball Light Up Toss comes with two jai-alai-type launchers and a ball that glows in the dark. LED lights inside the basket of the launchers charge up the ball, which glows as it flies through the sky for 1) an entertaining after-dark game and 2) some darn cool visual effects that make other campers stick their heads out of their RVs and say, "What the heck is that thing?"

Tossing the glowing ball back and forth is part of the fun, but the kids we tested it out on quickly started freestyling, experimenting with different techniques for catching and throwing that made cool patterns of light. We loved that they had something active and fun to do at night, because ghost stories only get you so far.

The Fireball is recommended for kids ages 6 and up and retails for about $15 at Target, Wal-Mart and Amazon.
