SHINNIES Meaning and Definition

1. Shinnies is a noun that refers to a popular playground or street game, especially among children and teenagers. It is a localized variant of the game known as "stickball" or "pick-up-sticks" in some parts of the world. Shinnies involves hitting a small cylindrical object, often a wooden stick or a similar makeshift item, with another object like a bat or a larger stick. The objective of the game is to strike the cylindrical object as far as possible and then proceed to run or shuffle between designated bases or markers before the opposing team retrieves the object and throws it towards the base the player is currently occupying.

   The game typically requires at least two teams, each consisting of multiple members taking turns in batting and fielding. Shinnies can be played both individually or in a more organized team format. It is often enjoyed in urban areas, where players improvise with available materials such as broom handles, tennis rackets, or other suitable objects for use as bats. Shinnies can be played on the street, on a paved playground, or any suitable open space. The game emphasizes physical agility, hand-eye coordination, and strategic planning. It encourages healthy competition, teamwork, and provides an opportunity for individuals to socialize and have fun together.
