[Illustration: The Boxcraft Game of “Ringfling.” It is made with the help of pencils and cardboard cut from box covers.] [Illustration: The Boxcraft Game of “Shoot the Chutes.” It is played with spools.] Cut a ring from cardboard, using a compass or saucer to guide you in drawing it first. Make it about three inches in diameter. (See Diagram Eleven, _B_, page 185, for cutting ring.) Make a smaller ring just like this larger one, and cut it in the very same way. Take your pencils. Press the point of one into each section of the game-board at its center near the numeral you have drawn. Press the points of the pencils down first, and be careful to keep each hole small, so that the pencil will not slip too far down in it. The tops of all pencils should be of an even height, as you see them in the picture. Here are the rules of the game: Players play in turn. Players count out to see who will begin the game and who will follow. Each play consists of a turn to throw the large ring and the small ring. The object of play is to have the ring tossed fall so that it circles about a pencil. When a ring circles a pencil, it gives the player the count of the number that is upon that section. The small circle doubles the count. Twelve counts win the game. The first to obtain this wins. You may make it eighteen—to make a longer game. The game is played in rounds. To avoid dispute, it is best to keep the score of all players with pencil and paper. Each player must stand five ruler lengths from the game when he flings the circles. When I am playing little games, I like to do what’s right; And when I do not win the game, I try to be polite! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE GAME OF “SHOOT THE CHUTES” =Material Required to Make the Game of “Shoot the Chutes”=: a long box and its cover, and one high box without a cover—some spools. This little boxcraft game may be played by two players. It is an easy game to make, as you can see by looking at the picture. It is made of two parts of one long box, with the lower half of another that is higher. It is played with spools. To make the game, first cut the lower half of your long box as you see it cut in the picture. Make two openings in its rim, each wide enough to let a spool roll through it. Stand this part of the box upon the floor as you see it placed in the picture. Now, you are ready to make the chutes. Cut the cover’s rim—the rim of the long box—at each corner, and press the cardboard out at each end. Rest this part of the long box in a slanting position against your high box. Paint four spools. Make two red and two blue. Two of the same color belong to each player.
