    To play forfeits all the players sit around the fire. Then one person gets up and beginning with himself says “Pig’s snout walk out” and the person whom the word “out” falls on stands up. The rhyme is repeated is repeated till only one person is left sitting. This one person is blindfolded and someone touches him. If he fails to guess who touched him with his first chance the person who did tough him gives him something foolish to do like kiss the floor or take off his boots and put them on again
