Gatta (Five Stones)

A classic hand-eye coordination game played with small stones, tossed and caught.

How to Play

  1. Gatta is a real hands-on game — grab 5 small stones (or beans, buttons, or pebbles) to play it with a friend or family member.
  2. Toss one stone up, and while it's in the air, quickly pick up another stone from the ground, then catch the falling one — all in one hand!
  3. Keep going, picking up one more stone each round, until you're juggling and catching multiple stones at once.
  4. If you drop a stone or miss a catch, it's the next player's turn. See who can get through all the rounds first!

🖐️ This one's played in real life (or a digital version is coming soon!) — grab what you need and follow the steps above.
