    boy gets into each corner. There is one boy in the middle of the square. Then they change from on corner to another and whoever is in the corner first owns it and so on. A crowd of boy get down on their hands and knees. One boy leaps across the others and when he is finished another boy takes his place.
    Someone puts a cloth on a boy's eyes so that he could not see and he goes searching for the others. The first boy he catches puts on the cloth and so on. This game is called blind man's buff.
