Stone Skipping/Skimming Stone

How do we say this game in Arabic? I mean in our daily life or during our childhood, when we play this game, how do we call this game ( as a native Arabic speaker)?

تسمية هذه العبة
نرمي حجرا (غالبا بشكل مسطح ) على وجه الماء مثلا بركة فيقفز الحجر على سطح الماء لمسافة


thanks in advance

You may use زحلقة الحجر على الماء but the word ارتداد conveys the true meaning

Asker: I am not asking about the translation, I am asking what is called in the real life, as the native speakers call it when they play this game
