    Game
    Skittles
    Get a long piece of straight stick and cut it in five lengths. Get another thicker piece of straight stick and cut it in three lengths. Stand the five piece upright and throw the other three at them. For every one you knock down you get five marks. The centre stick counts ten marks when it is knocked. When several people are playing skittles the person with the highest number of marks is the winner of the game.
