Stone in Fist (A Native American Game) You will need a small stone that can be concealed in a fist and three small sticks ( to be placed on the floor in between opponents). Sit across from your opponent and secretively hide the stone in one of your hands, then present the fists to your opponent fists down. Your opponent will then guess which fist the stone is in, if they guess incorrectly the presenter gits a stick, if they guess correctly no stick is given, but the opponent wins the chance to hide the stone. The game is played until all three sticks are gone from the middle.
