    Beating the boar to bed.
    Beating the boar to bed is played in this way. Ten boys stand round in a ring. One boy is the boar and the other boy is beating him to bed with a stick. If the boy that is called the boar gets in to the ring the right hand side of one of the boys then that boy is the boar, and the boy that was the boar before stands in his place that is how its played.
