A 'Splat the Rat' stall
Splat the rat (also known as bat a rat[citation needed]) is a simple variant on a bat and ball game that can be played at parties or fêtes.
An open-ended metal or plastic tube or section of drainpipe is mounted on a board so that it is almost vertical.[1] A rat-shaped object is introduced by its 'tail' into the upper end of the tube; the player's objective is to strike it before it falls to the ground, usually using a stick or other kind of bat. The game is a traditional stall at fêtes.[2][3][4][5]
