This game is about counting up to 100.

You will need the game board, an ordinary dice and three matching counters for each player.

How to play the game:
Start by putting one of your counters on '0', one on '0 tens' and one on '0 hundreds'.

The first player throws the dice and moves their counter that number of places along the snail's body. Take turns at throwing the dice.

After you get to '9', the first counter goes back to '0' and the second counter moves up to '1 ten'.

Keep moving the first counter along the snail's body and moving the second counter to the next 'ten' every time you get to the end and go from 9 to 0.

When your counter is on '9 tens' and needs to move, it can't move any further around the spiral. Instead, it goes back to '0 tens' and your third counter moves from '0 hundreds' to '1 hundred'. The first person to move their counter onto the '1 hundred' space is the winner!

There are many different skills involved in the game of hurling. These can be broadly broken down into those that involve Gaining Possession, Maintaining Possession, Releasing Possession, Contesting Possession and other skills that facilitate the playing of Hurling, called Other Skills.

(Click on the images below to learn more about each skill).

Gaining Possession

Involves gaining possession and control of the sliotar. Thus, skills such as catching, and lifting are included along with skills involved in getting control of the sliotar using the hurley.

Maintaining Possession

Once the sliotar is under the control of the player, there are a number of skills which help the player in possession to maintain possession. These skills encompass ground skills, handling skills and evasion skills.

Releasing Possession

Involves striking the sliotar, with either the hand or the hurley. Many of these skills can be performed with a stationary sliotar or a moving sliotar, while the player is stationary or while the player is moving.

Contesting Possession

Involves many of the skills used to tackle an opponent in possession, or to contest for possession when neither player is in possession of the sliotar.

The following are special skills usually associated with specific roles or set plays in the game of Hurling

Fundamental Movement Skills (ABC's)

These set of skills provide opportunities for players to perform the skills from the other categories.

Basic Motor Skills (Have a Ball)

These set of skills provide opportunities for players to perform the skills from the other categories.

It should be noted that this method of "grouping" skills is only a suggestion that may help coaches to ensure that as many skills as possible are developed, and there are a number of different ways of matching the skills together.
