Hit the nail

2+ people • ~15 minutes

Players take turns hitting their own nail until it's flush with the board or stump, and the first player to completely sink their nail wins. The game can be made more challenging by adding time limits or requiring players to use their non-dominant hand.

To play 'Hit the Nail,' you'll need the following materials:

  • A large wooden board or stump
  • Several nails
  • A hammer
  • A group of players

Here are the steps to play 'Hit the Nail':

  1. Hammer nails partially into the wooden board or stump, leaving enough nail exposed to be hit by a hammer.
  2. Line up all the players around the board or stump.
  3. Each player takes a turn hitting their own nail into the board or stump with a hammer.
  4. Players must hit their nail until it's flush with the board or stump.
  5. The first player to completely sink their nail wins the game.
  6. If two players hit their nail at the same time and the nails become intertwined, they must each start a new nail.
  7. To make the game more challenging, you can set a time limit for each player or require them to hit their nail with their non-dominant hand.
  8. You can play a single game or have multiple rounds to determine the ultimate winner.

Remember to always put safety first and supervise children while playing the game.
