    Birds (Colours)
    A row of children sits on a bank and one person gives each child a name of a bird or a colour, and two other children are picked out and one of them is an Angel and the other the Devil. When all the children has their birds got. The Angel comes up to the person that gives out the birds and says "I want a bird". The person says what bird. The Angel has to give a bird and name the person that has the name of the bird and if he is right he has to bring the child with him. The Devil has to do the same then.
