Pooh sticks

Stream twig game

Pooh sticks is a game in which players drop sticks from the upstream side of a bridge into flowing water, then cross to watch which stick emerges first on the downstream side.

The game originates from A.A.

Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories, where Pooh Bear and friends play it: We spent the afternoon playing Pooh sticks at the old stone bridge.
