beautiful childhood memories

It's mine favorite game

As a kid, we made up our own game. It had four holes about 4 to 5ft. apart in a diamond shape,. We'd start at "home" and work our way around. It was a two player game. First one all the way around would win the other's marble. Each would take a turn. We'd knock each other out of the way when given the chance. We even had our own moves like one we called spades. Wherever the marble was, plant your thumb and use the distance between the thumb and index finger to make a mark on the ground and shoot from there allowing for a closer shot to the next hole. The hi-top was another which was an elevated shot which was the area from the ground to your wrist from the non shooting hand. The hi-top spades used both moves.

This game is played in Afghanistan it’s very common game in the rural area of Afghanistan in Parwan ,Kapisa north of Kabul the capital

I want to introduce my year 1 class to marbles - what are some simple games/rules?
