NINE STONES GAMETRADITIONAL GAMES ACROSS

EUROPE

MATERIAL

* Nine flat pieces of marble (or stones can be used).

A ball

PREPARATION

Students split into two groups (Group A and Group B).

They draw a circle on the ground.

They put the stones on top of each other and make a tower in the circle.

About 15 small steps away from the marble tower they draw a line.

HOW TO PLAY

Group A start the game.

Group B stand behind the tower, and Group A stand behind the line.

A player of the group A uses the ball to hit the marbles and knock them down. If he/she cannot knock down the marbles, the other member of

the group takes the ball and tries.

If none of the members cannot hit the marbles with the ball Group A fail and the other group

takes place behind the line.

HOW TO PLAY

When the member of the group hit the marbles with the ball the group members run away. The

Group members behind the marble tower tries to hit the other members of the group with the ball.

The members of the running away group tries to

put the marbles on top of each other and remake the tower. If they put all nine marbles on

top of each other and build the tower one member of the group steps on top of the tower

with one foot and shouts "Nine Marbles!" or "Nine stones!". Then they win and they start again. The winning group takes the ball and

restarts the game.
