  1. Games - Skittles

    Share Share Post
    This is how the game is played. Six small sticks are got and put standing on the ground in a row. A ball is needed for the game. Every player gets six turns at throwing the ball from a distance of about four feet. Who-ever is able to knock all the sticks in the six throws wins the game.
