Starting: One child should place a seed in either of their closed fists and ask the other child to guess which hand it is in.

If the guesser is correct, they begin the game. If they guess incorrectly, the other child starts. The next player then chooses a cup on their own side and sows the seeds.

This makes the game different from the Mancala game that many children have played, in which turns last a long time. Players can only begin their turn by selecting from a cup on their side of the board. The game usually ends when a player has captured 25 or more seeds and both players agree to stop.

Each player takes any remaining seeds in his or her cups. Both players must agree to stop play, and split the remaining seeds evenly, with the player having the most seeds on his or her side keeping the odd one. After each team has played once, gather your students together to talk about what they have discovered.
