Pick up Sticks and Jack n balls

Two classics packaged together in convenient tin. Pick-up sticks (or pick-a-stick) is a game of physical and mental skill in which sticks have to be removed from a pile without disturbing the remaining ones. One root of the name "pick-up sticks" may be the line of a children's nursery rhyme, "...five, six, pick-up sticks!"                                                                                                                                                                                                      Jacks is a playground game for children. The game originated hundreds of years ago, when the only playthings boys and girls had were materials they found near their homes.  They tossed them into the air in a way similar to today's version of the game.
