- "Jack is alive" is a very favourite game. It is a very nice game to play of a winter's night. This is how it is played.
A stick is lighted in the fire and each player takes the stick and says "Jack is alive and alive still if he dies in my arms a forfeit I'll give. This is repeated by every player and the player whose hand the stick quenches has to give a forfeit.
