The object of the game is to keep the feather in the air by blowing. If the feather- touches anyone that person must pay a forfeit.

Having formed a circle. all ille players except one each take the name of a well-known town. OnC, however, who takes the peat of the

Train is blindfolded, and stands in y

the middle of the circle. He or she calls out: “I want to s0 Yfbm Aberdeen to London tor any other place). and the two players who have taken the names uf these towns. at once change plac-ss. mak- ing the noise of a train as they do so. The blindfolded plavci" mut try to catch one of thciii. and if he succeeds he. must say whether it is Aberdeen or London. ff he guesses correctly. he changes places with the “town? who then blindfolded. and acis as "train."

OBSTACLES

This is a good ganic to piay out- doors. Divide the players into two teams, and draw two goal lines about 5O yards apart.

Each member of the attacking team. the Reds. is given a ball. and they lino up on their own goal ine

When the umpire blows his whistle they have to make their way over their opponents‘ goal

line, batting the balls with their hands as they go.

If a Red player drink: his ball he must return to tho base linc and start again,

M: intervals during ihc gillllt‘ ihc umpire blows his whistle. lNhcii this happens the defending team instantly freezes. The only extra movement allowed them in that they may stretch out their arms so that they become largo ob- stacles. At this point the Reds may catch the balls. if they wish. but must start batting them again as soon as they move forward. Reds have now to avoid the obstacles in their path. If they or their ball co‘licles with an obstacle. the Rod player has to return to the base line.
