I hear it's like football or something.
isn`t rugby that game.....
Play Rugby with two people, sitting face to face. Decide who goes first, by either counting using a rhyme, or just by counting, one, two, three and putting out either one or two fingers. Whoever wins the finger count, goes first.
The player gathers the jacks in one hand, and gives them a gentle toss to scatter them onto the ground between her and the opponent.
The idea of the game, is to pick up the jacks, one at a time, while, at the same time tossing the ball into the air and catching it with the same hand you used to pick up the jacks. Put another way:
Toss the ball with one hand.
Pick up the required number of jacks with the same hand.
Catch the ball, still with the same hand. The ball should only bounce once.
You start with "onesies", which means you pick up one Jack, then go to "twosies", which means you pick up two jacks, at the same time. The play continues but gets more difficult as you have to scoop up three at a time, and so on.
Continue the game in this manner, until someone succeeds at picking up all the jacks at once, at a single bounce.
Isn`t that Rugby??
