Rolling in the Rink | Jack and Jill Magazine

"There are lots of marble games. At the championships, they play Ringer. Want me to show you how?"

"Great!"

"We draw a 10-foot circle, then 'lag' our shooter marble from one side to the other to see who goes first. Hey, I’m closest."

"We put 13 marbles in a “plus” shape. Now I 'knuckle down' and try to knock a marble out of the circle with my shooter. Hah!

"Um, my shooter wasn’t supposed to go out of the circle. Your turn."

"If my shooter stays in the circle...
"my next shot is from where it stops, right?
"Easy!"

"Blake is still learning, why don’t you visit www.landofmarbles.com on the Web to see more marble games."
