With the clocks having now gone forward, we are well and truly in Spring and the evenings are now lighter for longer. And better still, the sun will be starting to appear and for longer! That means we can all get out and enjoy the fresh air some more and stay active with some fun activities. Active kids love games involving a ball of some type, others like racquet (racket) sports like Badminton – what about combing the two and playing something entirely different? A game of keepie uppie with a toy that is a cross between a ball and a shuttlecock? Well, you can with the Wicked Ukick! Kick It! Hack It! Whack It!
The Wicked Ukick is a toy/game that can be played with solo to practice your own skills and tricks or with other players for some competitive fun group play. You can use your hands, feet or any part of your body to play, the objective is to stop it from hitting the floor, keeping it in the air as long as possible, a classic game of keepie uppie. The Ukick is a bright and colourful feathery keepie uppie toy that can be customised and adjusted depending on your skill level and what tricks you want to do, and even when it’s windy outside!

Wicked’s Ukick is very light, easily portable toy that children and adults can play with anywhere. It is available in three different colour options: Patriot (Red, White and Blue feathers), Hero (Green and Yellow feathers) and Mad Dog (Green, Pink, Yellow and White feathers).
Overall, the Ukick is a fun and challenging game for kids and adults to play. We have all enjoyed it, whether it’s for a minute or two or longer. It is very different from playing keepie uppie with a football and more skilful due to its smaller size, but is so much more fun once you start, and can be quite addictive. And the more you play and practice, the better you get with it, allowing you to do more tricks. You can even adjust it to suit your own personal skill levels as you progress.
The Ukick is a cross between a small ball and shuttlecock with longer feathers. It is excellent for kicking or throwing into the air and playing using your hands, feet, knees, shoulders or head to stop it from hitting the ground – once it hits the ground you have to pick it up and start again – you can’t get it going again from the ground with your foot. Fantastic for solo play and superb with a group of friends all playing together to keep it off the ground.
It can be quite challenging, especially when you start adding in the extra discs to up the skill level. If you want some tips and tricks you can view some videos on the Ukick website or Wicked’s YouTube channel.
The Wicked Ukick is an excellent fun toy to get outside and enjoying the fresh air and have some active fun. It is lots of fun to play by yourself or with friends and family, an excellent way to keep off the screens and keep active as you are always moving about to keep it up in the air whilst honing those skills and tricks.
Ukick is perfect for enjoying the outdoors and having some active fun in the garden, in the park, on the beach or even in the school playground (if your school allows it). It is small and lightweight so can be taken and played anywhere. With solo play or mini tournaments you can Kick it! Hack it! And Whack it! How long will you be able to keep it up for
