A Old Game
The other game I played in my childhood was 打尜(dǎ gá), which means hitting gá.
I just knew this Chinese character尜. Before, I only knew its pronunciation, I never knew how to write it and never saw it, so I feel a little ashamed now as a Chinese person.
As people already know, there were many trees in the countryside. In order for trees to grow well, people liked to cut off their redundant branches. Those branches used to dry under the sun to be used as firewood.
To play hitting Ga, you need to make a thick stick first.
Find a branch about 3 centimeters in diameter and cut it into around 35 centimeters long.
Then make the Ga. Find a thin branch about 2 centimeters in diameter and cut it into about 15 centimeters long. Afterwards, sharpen both ends of it, so the Ga is done.
When you play, draw a square bigger than the Ga on the ground and place the Ga inside the square. Use your stick to hit one end of the Ga. The Ga will jump up into the air and spin. At that moment, use your stick to hit the middle of the Ga hard to make it fly away in a certain direction.
Of course, who hits the Ga farthest is the winner.
See, like playing with mud, hitting Ga is another simple game. Although it is very primitive, it killed a lot of boredom in my childhood.
An Old Game
ThA game other gameat I played in my childhood was 打尜(dǎ gá), which means hitting gá.
"The other game" is unclear to what you're referring to.
I just knew this Chinese character尜.
Before, I only knew its pronunciation, I never knew how to write it and never saw it, so I feelt a little ashamed now as a Chinese person.
As people alreadyou may know, there weare many trees in the countryside.
The present tense makes more sense, because although you are talking about something that happened in the past, the fact that "there are many trees in the countryside" is still true now.
Also, "as people already know" isn't generally used in English, "as you may know" is more natural.
In order for trees to grow well, people liked tooften cut off their redundant branches.
Those branches used to dryare dried under the sun to be used as firewood.

"of course" doesn't really make sense here, because it would imply that I already know what you're talking about, which I don't of course :)

Although it is very primitive, it killed a lot of boredomtime in my childhood.
I think "to kill time" is the expression you're looking for here.
