DO you mean a rugby ball shaped thing fixed to two long strings that you pass between two people by pulling the strings apart. I hope this description is clear.
If you do mean one of these then they are still available (in the u.k., at least) in shops like Poundstretcher and similar. I bought one a few years ago from Co-op but the strings weren't as long as the original (or maybe I've grown a bit). It could be worth checking out the bucket and spade shops if you go to the beach.
