RING AND PIN

Many tribes across North America played this game.

Any number may play.

Turns must be taken.

Play: String is tied to pierced object at one end and pointed stick on the other. Player swings the pierced object or ring up into the air and tries to put the pointed stick through the hole. Some tribes in Canada play this in the spring because it is believed to hasten the coming of the sun.
