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.
Children were meeting in the street, sitting down on a rung, and the challenge was started. The 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: full hand (“a manu china”); take and give (“lassa e prendi”); nun (“a monaca”) and many others.
When a mistake was made in hand position, the player had to leave space for the next one, until the new player’s mistake, giving then, space to another one and so on. The winner was the player with the higher score.
