Marbles is played with small, hard, round objects that may be made of stone, glass, steel, clay or plastic. Players shoot a marble at other target marbles placed inside a circle drawn on the ground. Opponents’ marbles knocked out of the ring may be kept or scored as points. Marble shooters “knuckle down” by placing the knuckle of their first finger on the ground. Then they put the marble in the joint of that finger and use their thumb to snap the marble at their opponents’ marbles. Shooters try for accuracy in their aim and distance in their shots.

53 English Language Convention Day 4 TG 45I listen/Speak 1.3
Speaking: Speaking Clearly When we speak clearly, we are able to express our thoughts and ideas. We should speak slowly and make sure to say each full word.

People take us more seriously if they can understand what we are saying.
