One of the games described in the Aralar area of Gipuzkoa was called ''makillak zeharkatzea''. It consisted of a competition between two shepherds, who would stand next to each other. One would throw his crook as far as possible over the pastureland. The other one would then throw his and try to get to cross over the first one. That was the aim of the game; the shepherds took turns to throw their crook forward, if they were walking, or in one direction or another, if they were staying put. They played until they managed to cross the crooks or until they decided the game was over.

Shepherds are known to have competed against each other to test their strength by lifting large stones, called proba''-harriak'', as entertainment.
