This is how I play tip-cat. I get a strong box or stone and I have to have to thick sticks and about a dozen small one. A number of small players can take part in this game, but there must be two even sides.
They have to put a small stick on the stone and hit it one of the big sticks and if the other side catches it then that side gets their turn.
This is the way I play Musical Chairs. There are two rows of chairs, then a line of children march round the chairs and when the music stops the children have to grab the chairs and whoever does not get a chair drops out.
