Did you remember any games that you play as a child.
I remember playing marbles ,this was a fun one.
I had a bag full of marbles including shooters
We draw a circle and place marbles inside the circle.
Then we take turn with our shooter to see how many we can get.
You have to hit the marble out of the ring.If you miss then the next person will try to shoot.This was a fun games.For the girls they had what they call a bunny hole and try to get a marble in the hole etc.
Wish I had those marbles today.

@amadeo:
Actually I was more of a spectator than a spider hunter or collector, not to say hold spider tournaments. I used to join friends who hunt the fierciest spiders. They are carefully put away in matchboxes and fed with smaller insects. The they are primed for these tournaments.
In tournaments, we use foot-long sticks where the spiders are then made to fight. Legs would be mangled or venom could paralyze their opponents and eventually be put away for their next meal. That is the prize for the winning spider.
Later on, people would even bet up to a few thousand pesos to match spiders with other spiders.
