The second player then wraps the string of their conker around their paw, draws it back and takes aim, trying to hit their opponent's conker with theirs. If they miss it, their opponent has a turn. If they hit it, they get another go, then it is their opponent's turn again. They take it in turns like this until one conker is completely destroyed.
Everyone who wanted to play (actually that WAS everyone!) then had their conkers drilled through by Jane. Then they each chose a length of string and tied a knot in the end and then threaded it through the conker. Then they split into twos - well, that was a bit difficult because there were an odd number of bears, so they took it in turns to play each other so that everyone had a go.
