IGRA PILJAKA

Izabralo bi se pet lijepih okruglih kamenčića, zatim bi se izvlačili, duži ili kraći da bi se znalo tko prvi počinje igru. Igrač bi bacio kamenčiće jednom rukom pazeći da ne budu previše raštrkani, izabrao jednoga ( najudaljenijeg ) i bacio ga uvis te, hvatajući njega, hvatao jedan po jedan kamenčić sa zemlje. To je prvi krug.

U drugom krugu hvataju se dva po dva kamenčića, u trećem tri i jedan, i konačno sva četiri kamenčića sa zemlje. Naredni krugovi se igraju s obje ruke. Prije bacanja lijeva šaka bi se savila u obliku luka, točnije njezin palac i srednji prst., dok bi se prstenjak i kažiprst čvrsto priljubili jedan uz drugoga i položila donjim bridom na zemlju. Desnom rukom bi se trebalo kamenčić bacit u vis, probaciti jedan kamenčić kroz luk kažiprsta te dočekati padajući kamenčić iz visine. Konačno, slobodnom rukom se napravi „šator“ ili „kuća“ tako da se polože vrhovi raširenih prstiju na zemlju, a dlan se podigne i savije. Sad se kod svakog bacanja kamenčića gura po jedan kamenčić sa zemlje u „kuću“, ali svaki kroz druga „vrata“ između prstiju. Najvažnije je da kamen koje se baca na smije pasti na zemlju. To znači da se gvatanje, odnosno guranje kamenčića sa zemlje može izvesti i u više bacanja, ali se za svako bacanje iza prvog dobivaju negativni bodovi. Ako kamenčić padne, sljedeći igrač počinje igru. Pobjednik je onaj tko prvi završi igru, računajući i negativne bodove.

¨ IGRA PILJAKA ¨

Children would find five nice round little stones or pebbles. To establish the person to start the game, children would pull sticks and the child with the longest or the shortest one would start. The player drops the stones from one hand trying not to scatter them too much, then chooses one of them ( the one farther away ) and throws it upwards. While it is still in the air, the player picks one of the remaining four stones with the same hand and catches the one falling back with the same hand. The same is done with the remaining three stones ( one by one ). That's the first round.

In the second round are played with both hands. Before scattering the stones, the player puts the free hand on the ground ( playing surface ) forming a ¨cup¨ with it. The hand is curved and the thumb touches in the index and middle fingers while only the outer edge of the hand touches the surface. While the stone is in the air, the player picks the scattered stones and places ( throws ) them in the ¨cup¨. Finally, the player makes a ¨tent¨ or a ¨house¨ with the free hand by touching the ground with all five fingers, spread apart and the palm raised and arched. Again, one stone is thrown upwards and the remaining ones are pushed or placed into the ¨house¨ one by one but each must enter through a different ¨gate¨ between the fingers. The most important thing is not to let the flying stone fall on the ground. It means that you can catch or place the stones in two or more moves, but you get negative points for each one after the first. If the player lets the stone fall, the next player begins. The winner is the one who is the first to finish, counting the negative points, too.
