    other child has a burton in her hand and she goes round with the button to the children and she gives it to one of them but the rest of the children does not know it. Then she asks the children on turn who has the burton who ever is not able to tell who has the button gets slapped and who ever is able to tell who has the button has to go round with the button next time.
    Blind mans buff is played in this way- One child puts a cloth on his face in such a way that he can not see and the other children walks round the kitchen noiseless. The first one that is caught has to put the cloth on her face.
