Some of my D&D games end up requiring larger tables to accommodate the amount of people at it.  This results in making it hard to reach the miniatures.

I am trying to find those stick things that are used to move the miniatures around, but I don't even know what you call them, so my search results are showing me everything from Stat Blocks for weapons too **** and not the actual thing I am looking for.

They're called croupier rakes, as they were originally used for table gambling but found their way into military strategy.

I believe they use croupier sticks for that. A “croupier”  is the person in charge of a gaming table, a croupier stick is the thing they use to pull, push the dice around on a craps table.

Thanks!  Now it will be easier to move the mini's around the table.

Come to think of it, I am surprised these are not available at most Comic and Games stores.

Or if you're looking for the red ones that used to come with Games Workshop kits, I believe the common name is a whipping stick. 

We used to just move each others minis. 
We had a system using the person closest to it an compass direction. So Bob north would be move it directly away from Bob. South toward him, etc.

Not as fancy but it worked, and it’s easier than having to weave the minis around each other with the stick.

 Backscratchers, one my players bought me one it is great. Walmart occasionally has them for a dollar. 

I would also suggest a collapsible snake hook. They’re cheap, can be found at most local pet stores and is conveniently portable.
