Two play at a time, one player from each side. The player stands in
front of his goal and at the word "ready," fans his ball to the opposite goal. It must go through the back of the chair in the middle of the room, and through the opposite goal, in order to win. When all have finished playing, the team which has the most successful players in it, wins the game. SPOOL FLOWER HUNT. Gather together as many spools as possible, marking each with a separate letter, which, when put together, will form the name of some flower, such as: rose, violet, daisy, pansy, etc. Stand all the spools in a row, those forming names standing together. One child, the gardener, gathers up all the spools and hides them in all the corners and out-of-the-way places in the room, only one spool being in each place. When all are hidden, the children are summoned in to hunt for the flowers. The object is to find such spools as form a name. As the spools are found, the children see if the letters on them spell a flower. When the hunt is over, the one having the most complete sets of flowers is the winner. |
