Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
You'll only need a tool for this one... so you can wander and find a few straight sticks.
Step 2
We decided upon a good length. I handed Maddie and Trev each a sample stick, and said: "go cut some straight sticks this long."
Step 3
They found them and stripped them.
Step 4
Then they cut them...
Step 5
and, when there were a dozen sticks or so, we had a game!
Step 6
It had been a while since we'd played! I had to remind them that the object is to pick up the most sticks, one at a time. When another stick moves during your turn, your turn is over.
Final result!
This is their new favorite game!
