Plug for the big yellow ball

Does anyone know what we are supposed to use to plug up the big yellow ball after we blow it up? Was this one of the things that they forgot to put in our kit?

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball

Hmmmm - we were missing the plug as well; I was ready to blame the students for losing it. Anybody else not get a plug?

This ball is similar to the one from 2001 - I think we still have the ball and hopefully the plug; it's a long narrow piece of white plastic.

Re: Plug for the big yellow ball

I don't know if we got a plug (since we blew up our 2001 ball) but we are using a bolt in that and it is working quite well.

We did. There was a plug and a air nozzle in a small clear plastic bag.
