Why not try playing some popular marble games?
Shooting
The most common method of shooting a marble along the ground is known as 'FULKING'. The knuckle of the forefinger is put on the ground, and the marble is balanced on the bent forefinger. The thumb is placed behind the forefinger and then released with whatever force is required. This method is, however, less accurate than 'KNUCKLING DOWN' which is the method used by experts. The marble is held above the thumb's first joint by the forefinger's tip, and the middle finger holds the top of the thumb. The hand is kept quite still with the knuckle on the ground, and the thumb is released with the required force. With practice, great accuracy may soon be obtained with this method.
Dobblers
Dobblers is a game for any small number of players. Each player contributes one or more marbles to a straight line of marbles spaced so that there is room for two marbles to pass through the gaps. Each player then shoots in turn and may keep any marbles they hit. The player's TAW remains where it lies at the end of their turn, and subsequent turns are played from where the TAW lies. A player whose TAW is hit by another TAW must add one marble to the line.
TAW is a name commonly used to describe the marble actually used.
Long Taw
For two players. Each player contributes a marble approximately 6'' (2m) apart. The players withdraw a further 6'', and the first player shoots their TAW at the first marble. If they hit it, they pocket it and shoot at the second marble, and if they hit that, they win the round, and the game starts again. If they fail to win the round outright, the opponent shoots at the marbles and the TAW. If the marbles are hit, the result is as described for the first player. If they hit the TAW, they capture whatever is on the ground.
Conqueror
An order of play is decided. The first player throws forward a marble to whatever distance they choose. They will generally determine the distance at which they shoot with the greatest accuracy. The next player then shoots at this marble. If they hit it, they capture it, and it becomes their property. They then throw out a new marble to restart the game. If they MISS it, however, their marble remains in the field. The third player then shoots at either marble, capturing whatever they hit but leaving their marble in the area if they miss. If a marble is shot with force and bounces off several marbles in the field, then all those hit are captured.

A bag of 20 small glass children's marbles. There is also one matching coloured 1 inch diameter marble, assumedly to bowl at a row of the small marbles. These marbles are not competitively priced, but they do come in an unusual colour scheme. Quite why a colour scheme that makes the marbles easier to lose might be desirable is a puzzler.

This contains a set of 10 standard mables with 1 larger marble. My 7 year old has loved playing with them, though he's not found the various games as interesting as sending them down his marble run. The marbles have held up well to some rough play even on tiles (though not dropped directly onto tiles).Definitely something I'd recommend to parents looking for a classic toy for their child.

Excellent marbles - shoot straight if you know what you are doing! Nice internal designs.BUT - very few marbles for the price. I cannot recommend a bag of marbles this small for this price point.

It's a basic bag of marbles and we're puzzled because if this is intended as a "party favor," then it's too expensive to buy these in quantity for a kids' party. We can get little bags of marbles like this much cheaper.And these are indeed the kinds of marbles we remember from being kids. They're nice but they're way over priced in our opinion.

These are sold as being for camping, they are camo coloured, so they probably suit that purpose well. They are quite small.
