This is a traditional Chinese boy's game, similar to marbles. Children "win"
coins in this game, so you will need to decide whether to play with real coins
as the prize or to claim them back at the end!
Age: Any
You will need:
Coins
A wall
Each child holds a coin up against a wall, with its edge touching the wall,
and lets it drop.
The child who's coin rolls furthest away from the wall then gets the first
turn. He picks up his coin, marking its place with his foot (which he must not
move). He then pitches his coin at the other coins lying around. If he touches a
coin, he wins it and has another go. If he misses, everybody picks up their
coins (or, if they have lost their coin, brings out another one or drops out)
and starts again.
Here's an upbeat, fun, parenting tool that guarantees to give you well
behaved kids or your money back. It's simple, it's unique, and it's
effective. Even the kids will like it! If your kids are hard to handle on
occasion, I really encourage you to
visit this
website and have a look for yourself. Better
