    would get a slap.
    A number of children must stand back near a wall while one girl goes to the oposit wall and counts 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 out loud with her face to the wall. They must try to get in as near to the other wall as they can while she has her back turned, and when she turns around they must be quite still or they must go back to the start again. The girl that reaches the wall first wins, and it is her turn next and so forth.
