- Good Angel Bad Angel
Two girls go away from the others, one is the good angel and the other is the bad angel. Then some girl gives a color to each of the other girls including herself. Then the good angel comes and names any colour she likes. If there is a girl in the row that has that colour, then she has to go with the good angel. If angel calls out a colour and nobody has it they say "Go home and learn your ABC." The bad angel and the bad angel come every second turn and do the same thing. Then when all the girls are gone the two angels count all the girls they each have and who ever has the most, wins the game.
