Koruru - Knuckle bones

1 comment:

  1. Hey Hannah,

    It's Jade C from the Summer Learning Journey 2018. It's nearly lunch time and I have my homemade sandwiches waiting more me to eat'em! What is your favourite food to eat for lunch?

    I like your google drawing presentation, it's a very nice way to present your work. I also like how you added a little picture of the knuckle-bones. I have them at home and I play them with my little sister. Do you have knucklebones at home?

    I found some cool games you could play with knuckle bones.

    1) Dumps
    Hold five knucklebones in the palm, then dump them in a heap on the ground. Select one which you must take away without disturbing any others. Throw this one up, pick up other four, and catch the first one.

    2) Clicks
    First "jockey" then proceeded as with over hand ones. When catching the one you threw up the knucklebones must click.

    3)Thread the needle—Same as above except the jacks have to be dropped through a circle made by the thumb and forefinger that is held about 8 inches from the ground. Once all have gone through—pick them up.

    4) Eggs in the basket
    Same as above except the your hand is cupped palm up to form the basket, the Knucklebones have to be placed in the "basket" without clicking, as this will break the eggs

    5) Catching flies
    As 'scatter ones' but the catch must be done with a quick snatching downward movement making it much harder than the ordinary system of catching with palms upwards.

    Try playing those games and let me know which one is your favourite!

    I look forward to reading more of your awesome posts!

    All the best,
    Jade C.
