This game is basically a story of a mother hen and her chicken, a bull in the pen and a hawk. This is a tense, rough and super exciting game, much loved by every child (and adults) in Jamaica.

Players form a ring holding hand, one girl goes into the middle of the ring and starts skipping around to the beat of this little tune –

This is a Ring game (no doubt adapted from England). Handball is a team game as the Batters are all on one team and the Pitcher and his Infielders are the other team. If the ball hits the Batter before s/he reaches a base, then s/he the Batter is out of the game. The Pitcher and Infielders make a rush to grab the ball after the Batter hits it his/her hand and pitching/throwing it at the Batter. Once as the ball is out of the Batter’s hand, the batter then races to the 1st … 2nd … 3rd … 4th and more bases before making it back to home base (which is the lineup of Batters). The Batter throws the ball up in the air and gives it a hefty wack with palm of hand. There are about 3 or 4 infielders who work for the Pitcher. The Pitcher is standing any distance between 5ft to 8ft from first Batter. The bases are any immovable object, such as trees, building, a rock stone on the ground or just a visibly marked spot on the ground. The ball is usually a newspaper stuffed 1-pint juice rounded off at the four corners. The game is played with any amount of players and one pitcher. This game bears just some similarity to league Baseball games played in the US but the hands are used in place of a bat. (Dandy Shandy is the same as dodge ball only difference is we made our ball out of a oj or milk box stuffed with paper(some of the paper you had to wet it so it would stuff properly)real good for flinging, can you tell I was responsible fi meking de ball.)
