- A game is played with a stick and a circle on a wall about 10 feet away. A person is asked to leave his head on the top of the stick - his ear touching it + then to walk around still having his head left on top of stick (stick about 3 feet high). He is then told, after walking around about 4 times to try + hit inside circle with top of stick. ( he is still holding stick in hand but not on ground). He has a reel in his head + will not go near the circle.
