Cup-and-ball

Cup-and-ball, also called ball in a cup or ring and pin, is a traditional children's toy. It is generally a wooden handle to which a small ball is attached by a string, with one or two cups or a spike on which the player tries to catch the ball. The toy is popular in Spanish-speaking countries, where it goes by a wide number of names, including boliche in Spain, capirucho in El Salvador and balero in most of Hispanic America, and it was historically popular in France under the name bilboquet. A related toy with three cups and a spike, called kendama, is very popular in Japan and has spread around the world.
