As a child sees someone passing, he calls out the number for his side;
if a woman, he says 2; if a man and woman together, it will be 3, and
so on.

If the children are looking upon the same street the side that calls
its number out first adds it to its score. It is more exciting if the
different sides have different streets to look out on.

If on a train, one side sits on the right and the other on the left,
and when an object is seen, they call out right, 5, or left, as the
case may be, for the mother, or older person to put down on the score
card.

The side which succeeds in reaching 100 first is the winning side. If
the trip is long, 500 can be the limit.



THE SERPENT'S TAIL.


This is a Japanese game, and is played this way. All the children form
a line, each resting his hands on the shoulders of the player in front
of him. One child is chosen out, and is called the "catcher." The
first child of the line, or "serpent," is called the "head," and the
last one, the "tail."

The "catcher" stands about three feet from the "head" and when someone
gives a signal he tries to catch the "tail" without pushing anyone, or
breaking through the line.
