- "Hide - a - button
is played outdoors. Some child gets a button and the others hide. The child with the button looks for a hole or some place in which to hide it. When it is hidden the child calls out :- "Hide the button" and all the others come in search of the button.
They ask :- "Is it on the ground or on the wall"? and whoever hid it says whether it is on the wall or on the ground and they all begin to search.
They ask :- "Who is the nearest,"?
and when she replies they all crowd round that place. When someone finds it, the button is hidden again."Here comes one Span"
