A few days ago I showed you the first video in the series called “How to Play Jacks“. My kids have asked before if I could teach them how to play jacks. This video series is for your kids to learn all the inns and outs of playing jacks.
Here’s the second video called How to Bounce the Ball in Jacks:

it’s hard to find the metal jacks. all i can do is find the oversized plastic ones with a smaller ball. i have forgotten all if the steps (ie pigs in, over, around the fence, bounce no bounce etc.). a bunch of us ole cooks are trying to remember all the steps. any help out there.

My child used to play jacks (10 years ago) on her grandpa’s computer. We would like to install the game on our computer as we now have grandchildren who want to play as well. We cannot find the game anywhere to download/purchase. Any ideas? Thanks.
By the way - good for you to put this video on line!

i did finally come across the old metal set and started playing again; bouncing the ball, etc., kinda coming back to me so i don’t keep missing the ball. it’s hard to believe i was such a whiz when i was a youth back in the 60s. i think we should hook up and form a ‘jack ” club!
