Dish Game

The dish game was played by the Wendat, using a wooden or stone bowl and pieces of fruit pits or pottery. One side of the piece was painted black, the other white. To play the game, the Wendat placed five or six pieces in the bowl and hit the bottom of the bowl on the ground to make the stones jump. The object of the game is to get all pieces in the bowl to land with the same colour facing up. 

To play the dish game you need a bowl and five to six flat stones or flat pieces of wood. Paint a colour on one side (both sides, if you have the supplies). If you don’t have a bowl, you can hold the pieces in your hand and drop them onto a flat surface.
