Hand games, sometimes called stick game, bones game, is an ancient team game utilized by the Plains and Southwest Indigenous Peoples of the North American continent.
Two teams play against each other. Each team has a captain and must have at least 3 players to fulfill the team requirements.
Teams compete in a guessing style game to find which hands the other team is hiding the bones (wooden usually) and guessing by using certain hand signals. The specific hand signals will be instructed each day we play hand games.
The game is very inclusive, fun to play, and has a lot of history and tradition associated to it.
Enjoying hand games? Register for the hand games class this spring and join the AIHEC student conference hand games team!
