MATERIALS
- Five small cloth pouches filled with sand or seeds
HOW TO PLAY
1
Scatter all five pouches on a flat surface or floor in front of the seated player.
2
Toss one pouch into the air, quickly pick up another from the ground, and catch the falling pouch in the same hand.
3
Continue through a set sequence of pickups, such as one at a time, then two at once, gradually increasing the difficulty.
4
A dropped pouch or a mistimed catch ends the turn and passes play to the next player.
5
Players who complete the full sequence without error move on to trickier variations, such as catching pouches on the back of the hand.
