    "The four courner fool" four stones are put opposite each other and one in the middle. They all rush for the "four corner stones and the person that is over has to stay in the middle. Then they change places and the person in the middle tries to get a corner stone while the rest change their places if he succeeds the person that is left over has to go to the middle and he is called the fool.
    Colours - One person give a colour to each person and another calls out the colours. If he calls out another persons colour he runs to the wall. If he is caught he is a devil and if he touches the wall without being caught he is an angel.
