    the stone the server is running to.
    If they succeed the server is "out".
    Before the game starts the captains decide on a certain number of "rings" as full score.
    If a person makes a whole ring without stopping 'tis counted as three.
    Whichever team reaches game number first wins.

  2. Cat and the Mouse

    Share Share Post
    Cat and the mouse.
    A circle is formed of children having equal distances between each person
    Two children will run, one representing the cat and the other the mouse.
    The cat will follow the mouse in between the children in the circle.
    If the mouse gets tired before he is caught he can stand behind another child's back who will then run representing the mouse.
    The game goes on in this way and according as a child gets tired he stands behind another child's back.
