Who remember pick up sticks and did you play it as a child? What brought that to mind is, my cat turned over the dry cat food, and I was picking it up with my hands. My mind drifted back many years to when I was a child and we used to play pick up sticks. I wonder if they still sell that game. There were a lot of colorful sticks that you had to pick up without touching, (I think, it has been many years since I have played) Do you remember or have you ever played pick up sticks?

Hi there sudalunts! I remember playing pick up sticks when I was younger. I often played with my cousins. It's fun especially when you are winning. I enjoyed playing this game way back. I do not know if there are still pick up sticks sold in the market. I haven't seen one for a very long time. Perhaps, there are no people interested in this kind of game now.

How can i forget that pick up sticks games? When i was a kid, we don't have a colorful sticks to play, we made those sticks out of the bamboo and we made it thinner and shiny.I and my sisters or brother are always playing it, we divided into groups and if ever who loss the game they are the one who clean the house, cook and fetch the water lolz. It was a best game i played with my sister. I master this game so that i am free from household chores hahaha. Happy posting

Hey there! Yeah, I remember that game too. We use to play it when we were young. I remember we always play that during rainy days because we can't go outside and play. We also play snake and ladder.
