Guide to traditional Aboriginal gamesSome traditional Aboriginal games are [2,4,5,6,8,9]: BattendiThis Aboriginal game was set up to enhance both a spear-thrower's accuracy and distance. Points are awarded on both bases, with the target throws making for a particularly entertaining contest. Battendi was played in areas of South Australia. BrambahlA traditional Indigenous game where two men hold a long rope at each end to swing it. When it is in full swing in goes the skipper and performs several activities while skipping. BoogalahA game where a ball, made of sewn-up kangaroo skin, is thrown in the air. Whoever catches it goes with all of their totem group into a group in the middle, the others are circling around. The ball is thrown into the air until one of the circle outside catches it. Then both groups change positions. The totem keeping it longest wins. BubberahA game about come-back boomerang throwing. The boomerang which returns closest wins. BuroinjinA ball game similar to Basketball played with a ball made up of kangaroo skin (called a buroijin and stuffed with grass) by the Kabi Kabi people of southern Queensland GoomboobooddooA traditional wrestling game. Bodies are greased to make them slippery, then family clans compete against each other. The side that finally throws the most men wins. Gorri, WungoolayA game in which Aboriginal boys and men throw or roll a small object (a tennis ball or a disc) along a line at a moving target. Players are required to try and strike the moving object with spears from a distance of about 15m to score points for their team. This kind of game has historical references to hunting wildlife and helped children learn accuracy of the eye and speed in casting the spear, improving physical fitness and focus. It appears to be common to Western Australia and Victoria. Gurril BoodthulPlayers in this Aboriginal game throw boodthuls, or miniature war clubs, towards a bush. The clubs have to skim through the top of the bush which accelerates them beyond the bush. Winner is whose boodthul travelled furthest. KaiIn this traditional game from the Torres Strait a number of players stood in a circle and sang the 'Kai wed' (ball song) as they hit a ball and tried to keep it up in the air with the palm of one hand at a time. This Indigenous game was played using the thick, oval, deep red fruit of the Kai tree which is quite light when dry. KalqA traditional Indigenous game where men used a throwing stick ('woomera') to project a big killing spear ('kalq') towards the next player. They used their woomeras to deflect the spear to the next player. Boys used spears with blunted ends when they played this game. The game is traditional to the Cape York Peninsula in North Queensland. Kee'anA game in which competitors throw a large animal bone with twine attached to it (acting like a comet ball) over a net into a pit or hole. The aim was for the bone and twine not to touch the net which required great skill and prepared for hunting. North Queensland was home to this traditional game. KeentanA keep-away game of catch ball played by both genders. The game was also called the 'kangaroo-play' because the players jumping up to catch the ball resembled the movements of a kangaroo.

Keentan was known by the Kalkadoon nation in north-west central districts of Queensland.

KolapAn object throwing game using beans of the Kolap tree. Common on Mer Island in the Torres Strait late last century. KokanA traditional hockey type game using a small ball ('kokan') played on a long stretch of sandy beach. The ball was struck with a bat or club made from bamboo. A popular game in many areas of the Torres Strait and Papua and New Guinea where various types of this game were known. KoolcheA ball throwing and hitting game traditionally played by Aboriginal people in the Lake Eyre district of South Australia. The balls were made of any material that could be easily worked and had the size of bowling balls. Two teams lined up on opposite ends of a dry claypan rolling their balls to the other end and trying to break the other team's balls. This traditional Aboriginal game ended when almost all balls were used and takes its name from the word 'kolchee' for the balls.
