‘Pirindolas’

The material used to make pirindolas is simple: wooden cotton reels and sticks. The cotton reel is cut in half and a cylindrical stick is inserted, then it is shaped with a penknife.

You spin them. If there are several players, the one which spins longest wins.

You can also write numbers on the different sides and use them as dice.
