For this game you need a six foot long stick like bamboo and a
four inch deep crevice that is about two or three inches wide
and another stick that is six to eight inches. You lay the
small stick across the whole. Use the big stick to fling the
small one and the other children in the field would try to
catch the flung stick. They throw it back to the batter and
he would try to bat it back. The stick if hit by the batter
would earn him points. If it is missed he can still earn
points by placing another small stick, teeter taughter on the
hole, flipping it into the air and then trying to bat it with
the long stick. The number of points you get is determined by
how far you hit the small stick and it is caught. You keep
playing until you must go in and then the person with the most
points wins. Or you can play by the round each player with one
turn and at the end the player with the most points wins.
