Marbles

Draw a circle about five feet across (or smaller, for younger players.) In the center of the circle, arrange thirteen marbles in an "X." The first player puts his knuckles down on the ground anywhere along the circle, and flicks his "shooter" marble at the marbles inside the circle. The object is to strike one or more hard enough to send them out of the circle. If he succeeds, he goes again.

If his shooter stayed inside the circle, he "knuckles down" again from wherever it stopped. When the first player fails to hit any marbles out of the circle, the second player goes, shooting for the remaining marbles – but if the first player's shooter was left in the circle, and the second can hit it out, she gets all the marbles he previously won.
