How to Play

Arrange the players in a circle. Number the players. Select an 'It' give him a one metre stick or base ball bat and place him in the centre. 'It' sets the stick upright on the floor and steadies it by placing his finger on top. He calls a number and the player holding that number darts for the stick attempting to catch it before it hits the floor. In the meantime 'It' takes the player's position in the circle. If the player succeeds, he returns to his position and 'It' holds the stick again. If he fails, he becomes 'It'.
