    The children all get in a row and one person gives out the colours and two others known as the good angel and the bad angel get out to guess the colours. When all the colours are given out the angels come along to guess. The good angel guessed first and if she guesses the colour which any person has that person must go behind her and so the game goes on and when they have guessed all colours they have to pull against each other.
