School children especially may play this game hundreds of times a day. The relationship of each hand is straightforward: paper beats rock, rock smashes scissors, scissors cut paper. There are a few variations on the chant you use with the game. Here is the most common version.
Remember that there are always three beats and you show your hand on the third beat. Kendama is a wooden ball attached to a handle by a string.

At the beginning of the game, the police give the thieves some time to disperse. Then the police look for the thieves and if they touch them, they can take the thief to jail.
Courageous thieves who have not been caught can rescue thieves from the jail by tapping on them. The game ends when all the thieves are arrested. Source: Katsushika Hokusai. In Japanese tradition, this person is called oni or demon. In Oni Gokko, the oni counts to ten with their eyes closed while the rest of the children hide.

Beigoma is a traditional spinning top game which peaked in popularity in the 20th century during the Showa period.
