Cannon
You will need a tennis ball
4 twigs (size about 3-4inchs each) in the shape of cricket stumps, 3 vertical one horizontal
From about 3 meters away you need throw the ball to knock all the sticks down, once they are all down you have to run out.. then you have to make your way back to put up the sticks when done shout cannon
no one is allowed to stand over sticks.
once you get caught (had), you have to find the person that knocked the sticks down.

| Hi just read about cannon game I used to play it when I was about 10. That was 1984. It was a brilliant game we used to put lolly pop sticks on top of a beans tin and knock over with a tennis ball. What fond memories |

| The other team had to hit you with the ball as you tried to rebuild the cannon.They were not allowed to run with the ball.Each person in the team has about 6 throws, if the cannon has not been completely knocked down after all the throws have been completed the throwing team stills runs out but does not get a cannon if they rebuild it ,but just stays in .If somebody knocks down a complete cannon with one ball they get a cannon with out running out. ? |

| I played the game but do not remember the rules. What do you mean by getting caught (had). Also I do not understand the last paragraph re finding the person who knocked sticks down. I thought the person who knocked the sticks down is the who is trying to put them back up. As I played this game about 65 years ago, my memory is not what it was. |
