Before the invention of plastic toys in every possible shape, small objects were used from children to have fun with their friends. In the game of “tuddhi”, five pebbles were used from each player, challenging the other with your own manual ability.
Come Children were meeting in molti paesi del Salentothe street, nei '''cortili''' della città e sugli '''usci delle case''' i bambini si incontravano per giocare sitting down on a “tuddhi”rung, and the challenge was started. Seduti per terra o su piccoli sgabelli, lanciavano in aria i sassolini per poi riprenderli ponendo le mani in '''diverse posizioni''', sempre più complesseThe pebbles were thrown up and then caught again with different positions of the hand. Positions were getting more complicated at each throw and each position had a name: “a mano piena full hand (“a manu china”), a lascia e prendi ; take and give (“lassa e pija”prendi”); nun (“a monaca”), a monaca, a taranta e via dicendoand many others.
Il turno del giocatore successivo era una conseguenza dell’errore del primo, che era quindi costretto a star fermo un giro. Vinceva il giocatore che aveva totalizzato un '''punteggio più alto'''.
