    And the two girls mentioned would stand in the middle of the ring, and they would take a firm grip of each others hand and pull. One girl would try to get the other girl to her side. The other girl would try to pull the opposite way. Then the game would continue on until all the members of one side would get all the children of the other side to their own. Then they would be the winner.

    One draws two vertical lines and crosses them with two more horizontal lines. One competitor takes the mark x for "fox" and the other takes the mark o for "goose".
