Iċ-Ċirku
About ic-Cirku
One of the more unusual games is ic-Circu. Even if you have never seen any-one playing this game in real life you may have seen it on old time movies that use the game to typify a pre-1960s era and closely associated with the central Mediterranean.
How to play ic-Cirku
It involved skilfully controlling a thin old wheel, usually from a bicycle, down a narrow street using a stick with a thin piece of wire attached. Children within small villages in Malta would race these wheels very quickly down slightly sloping old village streets and lanes and competition could be strong.
