Outdoor Games: African Shuttlecock

BIASSON

This game is attributed to the Ivory Coast., a similar game is also played in Ghana as well.

You will need 6-12 players.  Appropriate age: 8-12 years old.

Equipment: A corncob shuttlecock and a thin rope with a loop tied at one end.

Players divide into two teams.  Each team stands about six feet (or more) behind a line drawn on the ground.

A player tosses the corncob into the air and toward the other team.  A player on the other team, holding the rope, tries to catch the corncob within the loop before it hits the ground.  If he's unsuccessful, the other team gets to toss again.

When the corncob is caught (the tied bunch of leaves makes this easier), the player removes it from the loop.  The instant he does, the players on the other team can begin to run away.  The first player, allowed to run as close as the diving line, throws the corncob.  If it touches an opposing player, the first player's team scores a point, and the other team must toss the corncob again.

If a player isn't touched by the thrown corncob, it's the other team's turn to toss it.  The game continues, alternating in this way (and, on each team, the players doing the tossing and catching), until one team scores 10 points.

Additional Thoughts:  If the game seems to be dragging, lower the number of points needed to win.  If catching the corncob is too difficult with the rope, bend a coat hanger to form a loop and use this instead of the rope.
