Today boys and girls play the game for fruit or nuts, using galip nuts as prizes. The guide explains materials, how to prepare a coconut-shell spinner with holes for sound and long spinning, and two gameplay versions with team or line-singing rules to decide the winner.","Bobo the Spinning Top Game  \nSchool Journal Junior 1, 2008-V1 .1  \nEnglish  \nThis is a traditional game. The men from Malasang village in north Bougainville used to play it long ago during times of feasting. A message would be sent around the village for the men to get things ready. In those times, they would use cuscus meat for betting on who would win. It was the men's favourite game.  \nNowadays at Malasang, boys and girls play it too, for a prize of fruit or nuts instead of cuscus meat. These children at Malasang are using galip nuts for a prize.  \n1  \nWhat you need are:  \n-a half coconut shell (select one with a pointed end so that it will spin well)  \n-a thin wild banana rope about a metre long to spin the shell.  \n2  \nPreparing the spinner:  \n1. Clean out the coconut shell and make it smooth. You can use a piece of broken bottle or sandpaper.  \n2. Use a drill or hot iron wire to make four holes around the shell. These make the shell \"sing\", and help it to spin for a long time  \n3. Tie the rope to your pointer finger then wind it around the shell so  \nthat the shell will spin when you throw it down.  \n3  \nThere are two versions of the game. The girls are demonstrating the first kind.  \n1. The players stand in a line.  \n2. They sing: Tutuse na girise. Arasion! And throw down their shells so that they spin.  \n4  \n3. The last one to stop spinning is the winner, and that person gets the galip nuts.  \n5  \nThe boys are showing the other way of playing.  \n1. They divide into two teams, and each player contributes a parcel of galip nuts towards the prize.  \n2. One Team puts their coconut shells face down in a line on the ground.  \n3. Each player from the other team winds his string around his shell...  \n6  \nand throws the shell so that it spins.  \n7  \n4. If the spinning shell touches any of the shellson the ground, the owner of that shell on the ground is out.  \n5. The game continues until only one shell is left on the ground.  \n8  \n6. The owner of that shell is the winner, and he gets all the galip nuts!  \n7. Then the teams swap over and the game starts again.  \n9","cbCaiiHmfuQtba59","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiHmfuQtba59","pdf",486805,3,1,26,"English","en",105,"# Preparation\n## Materials\n## Preparing the spinner\n# How to play (Version 1)\n## Line and singing\n## Winning condition\n# How to play (Version 2)\n## Two-team rules\n## Touching shells and elimination\n## Final winner","[{\"question\":\"What materials are needed to play Bobo the Spinning Top Game?\",\"answer\":\"You need a half coconut shell and a thin wild banana rope about a metre long to wind and throw the shell.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you prepare the coconut-shell spinner to spin well for a long time?\",\"answer\":\"Clean the shell to make it smooth, then make four holes around it so the shell “sings,” and tie the rope to your finger to wind it tightly around the shell.\"},{\"question\":\"What determines the winner in each version of the game?\",\"answer\":\"In the first version, the last shell to stop spinning wins.
