    the boys make a ring. One of the boys shouts "Go" and all the boys stoop down. The last boy to stoop is to try and catch one of the other boys when he is standing up. This is the way this game is played.

    Any number of boys can play this game, but there has to be at least three. Firstly two boys are chosen who taking a flash lamp with them go and hide. Then when the boys shine the light, the others follow until they catch them. When they catch them, the other boys take the lamp and hide.
