- To play Jacks we get five little stones. We throw them on the ground. Then we get up one and throw it up in the air. While it is up in the air we get another stone and keep the two stones in the air and catch them coming down. We then take another stone and catch the three of them one after another. We take up the fourth one and keep the four of them up. Then take up the last one and keep the five of them up in the air, and when they are coming down catch them one after another.
