Way before video games and cartoons, neighborhood kids enjoyed playing
street games! Without much money for entertainment, they used their
imaginations to find ways to have fun. This vintage street game
can be played anywhere (no plug needed!) so get out there and have
fun!

MATERIALS:
(For groups of two people or more)
All you need to play this game are pennies! Place the penny on the
edge of the table and then hit it with the palm of the hand. The
goal of the game is to get your penny the closest to the opposite
end of the table without going off the edge. If the penny falls
off of the table, you lose. Tactical play would mean that the next
player could aim for your ha'penny and knock it off the table!
DIRECTIONS:

Another version of this game uses coins again but instead of inside
on a table this game is played outside in the road. Each player takes
a coin and standing a set distance from a wall or curb attempts to
toss the coin towards this edge. The second player attempts to toss
their coin from the same distance. Whoever is the closest wins a point
(or wins the coins)! Have fun!
