| Players: | 2 or more |
| Equipment: | A dozen marbles; 4 saucers or other small plates; 4 straws |
| Preparation: | Put 6 marbles on a saucer for each player |
|
The object of the contest is to be the first player to move the marbles from one saucer to
another - one at a time - with straws. Each player gets two straws and has to use them as
chopsticks, picking up one marble at a time and transporting it from one saucer to the
other - which is about 5 inches away. If a marble drops to the floor and rolls away, the player
has the choice of going after it at that moment or continuing with the marbles in play and hoping
the opponent does worse! Note: It's a good idea to use marbles of different colors for the two players so there are no fights later about whose marble is under the chair and whose is lost! |
