then how do you set a time limit?with jacks you had a small ball and five "jacks" (stones or whatever) you threw the ball in the air and had to pick up a certain number of jacks before the ball fell.. you had to catch it again too, (all with the same hand.
so you started by picking up one at a time, then groups of 2, 3, 4 etc...... (come to think of it I think we used 10)
