Every time the blindman calls out "Rachel," she must reply with
"Reuben" and thus it goes until finally "Rachel" is caught. "Reuben"
must guess who she is, and if he guesses correctly, "Rachel" is
blindfolded and the game goes on as before. If not, the same child is
"Reuben" again.



FROG IN THE MIDDLE.


The children form a ring. One, the frog, is chosen out, and he stands
in the middle of the circle.

The children, holding hands, dance around him, saying: "Frog in the
middle, jump in, jump out, take a stick and poke him out." As the last
line is sung, the frog takes one child by the hands and pulls him to
the center, exchanging places with him. The children continue dancing
around and singing while the frogs jump thick and fast. The game
continues until all have been frogs or are tired out.



HORSEMEN.


This is a rough-and-tumble game for the boys, and must be played
either outside, or in a large bare room.
