Splat the rat, also known as bat the rat,[1] is a simple variant on a bat and ball game that can be played at parties or fêtes.

An open-ended metal or plastic tube or section of drainpipe is mounted on a board so that it is almost vertical.[2] A rat-shaped object is introduced by its "tail" into the upper end of the tube; the player's objective is to strike it before it falls to the ground, usually using a stick or other kind of bat. The game is a traditional stall at fêtes.[3][4][5][6]
