- This is the way the game "Stag" is played. A number of children join up in row. A girl comes along and "gives out the Stag" counting up to nineteen and twenty and whatever girls get nineteen and twenty have the "Stag".
The rest of the children run off and the two girls run after them to catch them until they are all caught and the two that are last caught has the "Stag" again.
