_2 players._

_Indoors; out of doors; schoolroom._

One player holds on his upturned palm a ruler, a paper knife, or a
small thin strip of wood. The other player takes this quickly and
tries to "scat" or hit the opponent's palm with the ruler before he
can withdraw his hand. The game will be made more interesting by
feints on the part of the player who has to take the ruler, he giving
several appearances of taking it before really doing so. When a player
succeeds in hitting his opponent's hand with the ruler they change
parts in the game. Count is kept of the unsuccessful hits, the player
winning who has the smallest score when the play ends.

This is one of the diversions useful for rainy day recesses in school,
or for pupils who congregate before a session opens.
