  1. Games I Play - Jack Stones

    Share Share Post
    Jack Stones.
    I play Jack-Stones the way it is played is a follows- first of all, I would get nice, fine, level, slippery stones. I get them in the flat of my hand, then throw them up and catch them on the back of my hand. Do the same again and again until they fall off, and then do the same. When you let them fall, the next person comes and then does the very same game again.
