Spān'-count'er, n.

n. A child's game, at which one throws a counter on the ground, and another tries to hit it with his counter, or to get it near enough to the first to span the space between them, and touch both the counters. If he can do this, he wins; if not, his counter remains where it lay, and becomes a mark for the first player or another, and so on;—called also span-feather. Halliwell.
