Spinning was a well-known game that required technique to play. Children either bought spinning wheels or made them with wood or even wax, spinning them around a thin wooden shaft. The game was played as follows… The children placed their spinning tops in a circle. Another child would spin his own, with the aim of getting as many spinning tops out of the circle as possible. As many as he got out, he won them, and the winner was eventually the one who got the most spinning tops.
