- 1) Fool in the MiddleFour girls get in four corners opposite one another and one in the middle.

Then the first girl throws in a stone or a block of wood into the first rectangle. She then kicks it out with her toe. If the stone stands on the line she cannot play until her turn comes round again or if it goes out on the side-line or if her foot touches the line or the block crosses two rectangles.
