There is a wide variety of oud hollandse spelen and games that are not expensive but which will bring so much fun to the party. Below, you will find three different oud hollandse spelletjes for children and for adults.
One of the most liked games in the Netherlands would be Sjoelbak which is a shuffleboard game. It consists of a long board that would be placed on a table, and 30 wooden disks or pucks. At the end of the placed board, there are 4 open arches which will hold the numbers 2, 3, 4, and 1 (from left to right). Every player will have 3 chances to get the pucks in the arches; the player with the highest score wins. Each set of puck, that is a puck in every arch, will count double.
Koekhappen is usually played at kids parties by children. It consists of a gingerbread being attached on a thread where players will have to bite them off while having their hands kept behind their backs. A variation to this game is where syrup covered apples are attached to the thread; the syrup will make it harder for kids to bite the apple and they could be smeared with syrup.
To play Spijkerpoep, a rope or a string should be available, as well as a nail and a bottle. The nail will be attached to the string. Then, the string will be fastened to the back of the player’s pants. The bottle would be kept on the ground. The goal is to put the nail inside the bottle while moving only the hips, the middle legs, and the upper legs.
