A seasonal accuracy game.
A seasonal accuracy game. After eating juicy kidney or hairy mangoes, children wash and dry the large, fibrous inner seeds (stones). They dig a series of three small holes in sloping dirt, assigning higher point values to the furthest holes. From a baseline, they slide or roll the flat mango stones across the earth trying to score.
