Traditional games and sports from Norway Sprette Jeppe

Description You need two bricks or stones and a piece of wood that you can put between the bricks, and one piece of wood which is three times longer than the other one. Now you have to make a half circle outside the bricks which is about 1-3 metres from the bricks(depending on the amount of participants) You need two teams: one home team and one away team.

Rules Number 1 at the photo: Put the small piece of wood between the rocks and hit it with the big piece of wood and then put the big piece of wood between the bricks. The away team is now supposed to hit the big wood(so it falls down)with the small wood. If you manage to do it, the one at the "inside team" is out.

Rules Number 2 at the photo: Hit the piece of wood outside the half circle. One at the "away" team stands where the wood fell down and throws it against the bricks. The one inside tries to hit it out again as far as he can. Use the big wood to measure the distance(one point for each length of the wood)

Rules Number three at the photo: Hit the piece of wood at least twice(the last time you have to hit it out as far out as possible). If you manage to hit it twice you count double points with the big piece of wood, three hits=three points etc. you measure from between the bricks. When one person at the home team is finished with the three tasks it's its time for the next person in the team. When everybody is finished you count the points and you switch home and away teams.
