Dash Mud Bowl

“Dashing mud bowl” was an old game we children played during my childhood.

When it was a lightly rainy day, the mud was wet. We grabbed a handful of mud and shaped it into a “bowl” and dashed it towards the ground upside down.

At the moment it hit the ground, there was a loud sound of explosion - the air inside the bowl would break the bottom of the bowl because of the high air pressure.

Usually, when we played the game, we took turns to make mud bowls and dash the bowls to the ground to see who could make the loudest sound. The winner was the child who made the loudest “explosion”.

There was a tip to playing the game. The mud moisture should be moderate. If it was too dry or too wet, it couldn’t make the “bowl”.

That is all for today. In my next article, I will introduce you to another game I played during my childhood.

Corrections

When it was a lightly rainy dayever it rained a little, the mud wasould be wet.

Maybe more natural. Not ungrammatical what you wrote, but not idiomatic

We grabbed a handful of mud and shaped it into a “bowl” and dashedthrew it towards the ground upside down.

dashed to mean throw is a very outdated word, but not wrong

At the moment it hit the ground, there was a loud sound of explosion - the air inside the bowl would break the bottom of the bowl because of the high air pressure.

Either 'loud sound' or 'loud explosion' depending on what you want to describe

dash is outdated

The winner was the child who made the loudest “explosion”.

good use of quotes to highlight figurative use of explosion

There wa's a tip to playing the game.

feels more natural this way

When it was a lightly rainy day, thewet mud was wetappeared.

Mud is only made when it is wet, so the sentence was a bit redundant.
