Stickball
Stickball is a game closely related to baseball but without the use of a bat, a traditional baseball or gloves. It's a street game made popular by urban kids, who would use a long stick, such as a mop or broom handle, and a rubber ball. Kids would make up bases from items, such as pizza boxes and sewer drains, or draw the bases with chalk. There are a few variations of the game depending on how many people are playing.
Relay Race
In professional relay races, a baton is handed off to the next runner; but if you don't have a baton, a stick will do. The relay teams are usually made up of four players at different places along the racing route. The first team member starts with the stick in his hand, runs to the second team member and hands it off. The second team member hands it off to the third team member who hands it off to the fourth, and the fourth team member to come in first is the winner. Dropping the baton does not automatically make a team lose, but it will slow you down.
Hangman
Hangman involves drawing a stick figure to coincide with the letters in a word or phrase from a particular category, such as movie titles. If the other players guess a letter that is not in the word or phrase, the "hangman" draws the head of the stick figure. With each wrong guess, a line is added for an arm or a leg until the stick figure is complete. The winner is the one who guesses the word or phrase before the stick figure is complete; otherwise, the hangman wins.
