- This game provides great sport. First of all, a number of hats are put in a row. Secondly the players stand at a distance away from the hats and one of the children throws a ball towards one of the hats. They do this one by one. Whoever puts the ball in the hat first has to put a stone in it. This is continued and the person who has twelve stones in his hat first is chased and hit with the ball. He also wins the game.
