    the colours and the other two to take the parts of the angel and the devil.
    The angel comes first and says "Knock, knock, knock". Mary who has given the colours says :-
    Q. "Who goes there".
    A. "The angel with his wings."
    Q. "What do you want?"
    A. "Colours".
    Q. "What colours?"
    The angel here names a colour and any girl that has that colour goes off with the angel.
    The devil then comes and the same conversation takes place and the girl that has the colour the devil names, goes with him and so on till they are all gone.
    Then the leader, either angel or devil who has the most followers wins the game.
