    Devil and Angel is played as follows; about ten children stand in a row, then one of the children gives the others a colour in secret, and when the children have the colours got, the Angel comes forth and guesses a colour, and if anyone has that colour he goes with the "Angel" and the "Devil" repeats what the "Angel" did, until the colours are all guessed and whoever has the most wins.
