  1. Button

    Share Share Post
    One child has a button: the other hold out their hands, and when the first child goes round, they open their hands a little bit. When he draws away his hand, they shut theirs quickly, so no one knows whether he gave it to him or not. When the round is finished, he asks, "To whom did I give the button?" and the child who gives a wrong answer gets a slap.
