   the child who has put the button in his hands, goes and puts his hands into the other child's hands and says "Shove the Button hold it tight, and does so till all is finished". Then he asks, "Who has the button?" And if the person does not guess, he will get a slap. At School we play, "Town Ball", "Three Legged Races", and "Wheelbarrow Races". The Wheelbarrow race is played by one boy getting down on his hands, and another boy holds his ankles, and he goes along on his hands, and whoever reaches the winning post first is winner.
