How to play Poohsticks

A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.” – Winnie the pooh

Poohsticks is a brilliant game –it was first talked about in a Winnie the Pooh book hence the name!

It is really simple and lots of fun and everyone can join in as long as they have a stick. It is the perfect game to play with a friend.

Materials needed

•                    A stick for each person playing

•                    A bridge over a river or running stream

How to play

Each player finds a stick that looks quite different to each other (longer/shorter/fatter/thinner)

Make sure you’ve already checked which way the water is flowing so that you throw your sticks in on the right side, so they flow with the water.

On a countdown to 10, the players drop their stick off the bridge at the same time the first one to appear on the other side of the bridge wins.

Find another stick and do it again, then again!

Things to consider

Does where you stand on the bridge make a difference?

Do thinner longer sticks travel faster or short fatter ones?

Be careful

Do make sure a child knows to only play near water with a grown-up present.
