I think #1 is a marble game. #2 sounds familiar, like shebby, but I cant't remember.

Hey Rosie , i think donkey fight must\ve been originated in Treasure Beach because i\ve never seen it play anywhere else or anyone else know about it in Ja.

Yes, we used to play it at Sandy Bank School.It goes like this: One would go on the other one back, the arm would use to hlod the feet out, and then the person holding that person on their back would use the feet to kick the other one...YEA MON!

Answers(1)Marble game ,ring and tay and carum,is what you say before we tring the marble , meaning whatever happen unless you got stuck in the ring (tring is a word we used whenever we used our fingers to move the marble) only people in Treasure Beach will understand because we play by different rules.

Answer (2)Marble game,Backa is the line you draw ,where you throw the marble to start the game ,whoever get in the line first start the game unless you hit someone else marble then you will go first.
Answer(3)cricket and handbat .Jackaman is the odds person.(for example 11 or 13 player) you have 5 or 6 per side so the Jackaman will be the odds person ,rules are, the Jackaman can only field and bat on both side but cannot pitch or bowl.Head Scratcher hope i help for know ,some of the words are just subjective to these games.

You got me on (3) TB. I played cricket back in the day in both Primary and High Schools and am not familiar with the term. Thanks for the lesson. Shows we're never too old to learn.

By the way, do the Primary schools still compete against each other in cricket, and during which month? I'm hoping I'll have some time in the not too distant future in helping out in some small way.

OOH no donkey fight was every where. It is when you have some on on your back and the other person or your oponet has one on his back too, and both the people on the back fight each other LOL it was funny!!

Oh! thank you withrosie...

Answer (4)Shebby, take a cut is at the start of the game ,when you send out your fastest runner to be chase by the opposite team, you pass their base before being chase
Answer(5)Shebby ,two game one prisoner is how you score the game ,one game is when you touches your opponent base or whenever you got all of the your opponent out ,prisoner is when you get your opponent out and they go out to form a line (i think its call stretch).

(6 )STRIKE .a popular game guy used to play in the sea,its when guy jump off a cliff or a boat anchor in deep water and we will try to skrike each ohter with our feet , could be painful sometimes depend an where you get hit.
