Then he goes around quickly and asks each person who has the ring. Then if you answer wrong you would be slapped and the person that got the ring would share it out as first.
3. Nuts in May is another game we play. We first make a ring and two sides with an equal number at each side. Then one side says "Here we come gathering nuts in May" and the other side says "Who will ye have to take her away". Then one girl is chosen from each side and the two of them try to pull each other to their own side and so on till some one of the sides is left empty.
