pick up sticks
Careful extraction game
Pick up sticks is a children's game where thin wooden or plastic sticks are dropped in a jumbled pile, and players take turns removing one stick at a time without disturbing the others.
The name also serves as a verb phrase for the game's action.
The nursery rhyme "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" includes the line "five, six, pick up sticks."
