A rough ball called a kamikami was cut from the thick root of the ngulyungu tree. Each player held a mukurru, or fighting stick, as a bat. The boys formed teams and each side took turns to bowl the ball to each other. A ball-hitting and stopping skills practice activity.

These were considered to be personal property and were usually well looked after. They were often used in play. In some areas the women would use digging sticks in play ‘fights’. This activity was reported from an unidentified place as a stick-practice game used by girls to prepare them for the digging-stick (kutturu) duels they would be involved in during adult life. In New South Wales the Ngemba women had play fights with their digging sticks. The women held the end of the digging stick in both hands and a little above eye level. The women could strike with either of their hands and then guard with both. They were fearless fighters and had their own champions. This is a hitting-and-dodging contest between two players, with the feet as the target area.

Other versions of the game are found elsewhere in Australia among Aboriginal people. For example, the children at Maningrida, Arnhem Land, threw small Anadara bivalve shells into a hollow in the sand and applauded the competitor who holed the most. Players attempt to throw marbles or coins into a hole as a test of skill.

The game outlined below was based on a 1950s account by an elder named Gaiarbu. To play this skipping game successfully, the players needed to be very active and had to have plenty of practice. This is a skipping game for two pairs each turn. These pairs change places while they are skipping.

This proved to be a particularly popular activity at Barambah (now Cherbourg) after an Aboriginal settlement was established by the Queensland government on the lands of the Wakka Wakka people in the early twentieth century. The game was often played by children and men in the afternoons after work, using a tennis ball. The game provided some social contact, a diversion from daily life, and fun. Players aim to throw a ball as high as possible into the air and catch it.

Using the kernel of a wild plum the children drew a picture of a fish or animal. This was concealed in a closed hand and the group sat around and attempted to guess what was represented on it. When the drawing was guessed there was a loud shout of laughter. A simple guessing game in which players attempt to guess what has been drawn or written on a piece of paper. This game is recommended for younger players.

These included sticks, mud and stones of various sizes. A spear-dodging game called tambil tambil (refers to the blunt spears used) was played by the Jagara (Jagera) people of the Brisbane area, as part of sham fights and mock war. These sham fights taught the boys how to manage when it was required as they grew into manhood. In parts of Australia the girls were taught to fight and use the digging stick (called kalgur in one area) so they could protect themselves later on in life. This is a throwing-and-dodging game.

The game was often played using the thick, oval, deep-red fruit of the kai tree, which is quite light when dry. This game was apparently introduced by people from the South Sea Islands.
