SETTING
Outdoor
MATERIALS
- A long striking stick
- A short pointed stick (the khăng)
HOW TO PLAY
1
Place the short stick across a small marked pit or notch on the ground.
2
Use the long stick to tap one end of the short stick sharply, popping it up into the air.
3
While it is airborne, swing the long stick to strike the short stick and send it flying as far as possible.
4
Other players in the field try to catch the flying short stick before it touches the ground to end that turn early.
5
If the stick lands uncaught, measure or estimate the distance to score that turn, often using stick-lengths as a unit.
6
Rotate turns among players, and whoever racks up the farthest total distance across several tries wins.
