Five Stones “ chamesh avanim”:
A game of dexterity played with five small stones, then with five small metal cubes. The game had two variations, a more difficult one called "Yerushalmi" and an easier one called "Tel Avivi". The game had several stages, each stage was called a "Kun", first Kon, second Kon and so on. In the game, you had to perform all kinds of actions with the stones with increasing levels of difficulty.
how people play it:
The stages of the game were as follows:
Stage one: Grab each stone individually.
Stage two: Grab every two stones individually.
Stage three: Grab three stones together and then the fourth single stone.
Stage four: Throw a stone into the air with all five stones in hand, and throw the four remaining stones in hand and throw the stone into the air again and collect the four stones.
Stage five: The throwing stage - collect a stone, collect a second and throw the first and so on and finally collect them all.
Sixth stage: The bridge stage - cross the middle finger (forefinger) with the second finger (ring finger) and create a bridge with the thumb - throw a stone in the air, grab a stone from the floor and throw it through the bridge. And so on until all the stones are used up.
Seventh stage: Bridge with throws - collect a stone, collect another one and throw the first one through the bridge.
Another game move, called "Kugalah" in Jerusalem and "Geshem" in the rest of the country, was as follows:
They would throw a stone in the air, grab a stone from the floor and catch the one that was in the air. They would throw the two in their hand in the air and catch another one. They would throw three in the air and so on until the last stone. Finally, they would throw all five into the air, hit the floor (ground) with their palm and catch the five that were in the air. The especially agile would catch the five stones in the air in a top-down motion, a move called "doubling".
In certain parts of Israel, the game was played with an additional playing tool called "jacks." Each jack was made of six metal pins facing six different directions and connected in the center.
