    Ball in the Cap
    Any number of boys play this game. Each boy places his cap on the ground. Then each boy in turn throws the ball into one of the caps. The boy who ownes the cap that the ball goes into snatches the ball and throws it at one of the boys. If he hit one of them a stone will be put into that boy's cap. If he hits none of them a stone will be put into his own cap. The boy that has the most stones in his cap will stand against the wall with his palm outwards and each boy have a shot at it.
