  1. An Old Local Game

    Share Share Post
    One of the oldest games in this locality are Skittles. It is very easy to make and play them. They are made from small sticks about four inches long. These sticks are placed on the ground with a number on each of them. There are five sticks on the ground and three to throw at them. If you knock three with the three you throw, you win the game.
