Catching crutches is a children's game that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
A crutch is a section between the joints of the hind legs of a pig or sheep. It is only three to five centimeters in size. Most children use sheep crutches.
Usually there are four pairs, and the auxiliary tool is a sandbag. When playing, move one person at a time and find a flat and smooth place. The way to play is to throw up the sandbag and use techniques such as pinching, pinching, and grabbing to move the various parts of the crutch while the bag is in the air, and catch the sandbag with your hands before it hits the ground. This counts as one round. If the bag falls to the ground, it means you have stepped down. There is an order to how each part moves and cannot be messed up. The last sequence is to grab all four crutches and then catch the sandbag. If there is no packet swap, the winner or loser will be determined by who can complete all the sequences of the activity in fewer rounds.
The age of children who play the game of kidnapping is generally below junior high school. In addition, catching sheep and crutches is only for female dolls and is rarely played by boys.
