    About four can play this game. We all stand in a circle and we get a ball. One throws it to the other. The one who lets the ball fall is D and every time you let it fall there is a letter of Donkey put on you. The first person who gets all the letters of Donkey is out.
    The game is performed over and over until they are all out.
