Turn Around Game- Hal Hai Jas

 Turn Around Game- Hal Hai Jas- Native American Indian Game 

Twenty or forty small sticks six inches long are taken in the palm, thrown up in the air, and as many as can be, caught on the back of the hand. Those that were caught, are then thrown up again, and, if possible, an odd number is caught in the palm. If an odd number: one, three, five, or seven is caught- one stick is kept by the player, who tries again. If none, or an even number is caught,- the opposite player takes his turn. He, who catches the last stick, wins all his opponents sticks, and then the game proceeds as at the beginning. Boys and girls play this game together.
