- 4. To play colours the girls stand in a straight line and one girl gives a colour to each girl in turn. One girl is "The Angel" and another girl is "The Devil". "The Angel" and "The Devil" take turns at guessing the players' colours. If the "Angel" guesses correctly the girl whose colour it is goes with her and so on until the game is finished. Then all who are "angels" are followed by the "devils". If an "angel" gets to the den before she is caught by a "devil" she cannot be caught.
