Poohsticks
Stream twig contest
Poohsticks is a game in which players drop sticks from one side of a bridge into flowing water, then rush to the other side to see whose stick emerges first.
The game comes from A.A.
Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories, where the bear invents it by accident: We played poohsticks until it got dark.
