Giant Pick-up Sticks
Pick-up sticks or pick-a-stick is a game of physical and mental skill. A bundle of sticks about 900 millimetres long,
are held in a loose bunch and released on a lawn surface, falling in random disarray. Each player, in turn,
must remove a stick from the pile without disturbing the remaining ones.

Fun Factor
This old childhood classic is reimagined as a giant lawn game that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. It is a fun game of tention, where only the steadiest of hands succeed... The anticipation of accidentally moving unwanted sticks adds to the fun! "It moved,it moved!" ... "No, it didn't!"
Game Setup and Rules
First, the sticks are bundled together in an upward position. They are then let loose to fall to the ground.
Players might have to step back here, to allow the sticks to fall randomly to the ground.
If the sticks do not fall right, you can try again. This is the start position.
The first player starts by picking up a stick. He/she may only move that specific stick, and the other sticks may NOT move.
If another stick is touched or moved, the player may not continue, and it will be the next players turn. If the stick was
removed successfully, it is lay down next to the player on the ground, and he/she continue by picking up the next stick.
Once a player has won his/her first stick, the stick is allowed to be used to pick up the other sticks.
The sticks have different colours, and different points associated with them. When all the sticks are picked up, they points are
tallied, and the person with the highest score wins!
