There's a Swedish game called Kubb , which is quite similar to the Karelian game of Kyykka and clearly connected to the Russo-Canadian game of Bunnock, which was originally played with the ankle bones of horses. There's also the Finnish game of Molkky, which is a relatively close relative, but different. Which brings us to Woodchuck - a faithful reproduction of the Swedish original, but played with 4 Woodchucks instead of 5, and 5 throwing batons instead of 6. 

Since Woodchuck is moderately priced and readily available here in the US through Simply Fun, let's talk Woodchuck.

Woodchucks are made of wood, which, from the Kubb-perspective, is quite traditional. You can play on a lawn, or in the sand, or any nice flat area, 12-feet wide and 25-feet deep. Four Woodchucks are placed at one end of the playing field, spaced evenly apart, in a line. The other 4 are placed at the other end. The King Woodchuck is placed exactly in the middle of the field.

I just received my Family Fun issue with article on you. The article was a Godsend. ohmy: Yesterday I spent an hour and half trying to persuade the principal of my son's middle school that the PE program was failing him and he needed help. I guess they are doing a perfect job and Joe's breathing problem - one third lung capacity and neuromuscular problems making running a disaster - were simply things he needed to negotiate with his instructor and he just had to go out on that soccer field and suffer.

Searching, as I am oft wont to do, for evidence of newly, or relatively newly invented sports, I found my cursor resting contemplatively on the word "Trugo." 

According to this vividly explanatory video, the idea is to use a large mallet to whack a wheel-shaped something (which makes one think that a perhaps more descriptive name might be "whack-a-wheel") a great distance (90 feet) so that it rolls across a quite narrowly defined goal. 

Invented, so the story goes, by railway workers in the 1920s, the mallet-bearing player stands with his or her back to the goal, and whacks the wheel between his or her legs. A goal keeper stands behind the goal with a net, to scoop up the wheel. As a mature-bodied person myself, I can only admire the wisdom of incorporating a long-handled, backbend-preventing wheel-scooper into the official equipment of the game.

They call themselves Junkyard Symphony. Their motto: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rock. Their instruments, junk. 

They play, they perform, they juggle, they teach, they bring people into a world of music and playfulness and mutual delight.

"For rhythm workshops students learn the importance of rhythm in music and life. In a drum circle fashion using buckets as drums, Junkyard Symphony teaches the basics of rhythm such as tempo, beat, and dynamics. They also cover the values of quarter notes, eight notes, half notes and whole notes and the students learn a series of syncopated rhythms. Add in a cheer box and a few rhythmic games and the workshop becomes a "Stomp" for students!

"For recycling workshops, Students learn how to make instruments from reused materials such as a maraca from a plastic water bottle and macaroni or a rain stick from a paper towel roller and beans."
