A conker is the seed of a horse-chestnut tree. It’s small, round, dark brown in colour, and perfect for conker fights. A conker fight is simple, but the preparation can be complicated. First, you need to find a good, strong conker. Then, you need to put a hole in it. You can do this with a drill. Next, you place a piece of string through the hole and tie a knot at one end. Now, your conker is ready for a conker fight.
Fighting with conkers is great fun. You and your opponent stand facing one another with your conkers ready. Then, you take turns trying to hit one another’s conker. Each player holds their conker and fires it at their opponent’s conker. The objective of the game is to break the other person’s conker – which is usually achieved by hitting it as hard as you can.
