Cup-and-ball

Cup-and-ball (or ball in a cup) is a traditional childrens toy consisting of a wooden cup with a handle, and a ball attached to the cup by a string. It is popular in Spanish-speaking countries, where it is called "boliche". The name varies across many countries — in El Salvador and Guatemala it is called "capirucho"; in Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, and Mexico it is called "balero"; in Spain it is "boliche"; in Brazil it is called "bilboquê"; in Chile it is "emboque"; in Colombia it is called "coca" or "ticayo"; and in Venezuela the game is called "perinola". A variant game, Kendama, known in English as Ring and Pin, is popular in Japan.
