How to Make It:
-
For the sticks, find ten twigs of equal length. Clean them with a damp paper towel. Let them dry.
-
Paint the sticks different colors.
To Play: One player holds all of the sticks in one hand just above the floor or table and drops them. The first player tries to remove the sticks from the pile one by one without moving any other sticks. That player keeps any sticks that he or she picks up. If he or she accidentally moves another stick, play continues to the next person. Once all of the sticks are picked up, the player with the most sticks wins.
