La Grace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Grace or Les Graces is a game invented in France during the first quarter of the 19th century and called there le jeu des Graces. It is played with two light sticks about 16 inch long and a wicker ring, which is projected into the air by placing it over the sticks crossed and then separating them rapidly. The ring is caught upon the stick of another player and thrown back, the object being to prevent it from falling to the ground.
