Another way. The players sit in a circle, Number One names some place
beginning with the letter A, and asks No. 2 what he shall do
there. No. 2 answers in words beginning with A, and he, in turn names
a city commencing with B, and asks No. 3 the question. Thus each
player must answer the question of his neighbor, and name another
place.

For example:

"I am going to America, what shall I do there?"

"Admire Astrakhan Apples. I am bound for Boston, what shall I do
there?"

"Bake beans and brown bread. My journey takes me to Chicago, what
shall I do there?"

"Catch cold," etc., etc.



JACK'S ALIVE.


A piece of kindling wood is held in the fire until it is well
lighted. It is then passed from one player to the other, each one
saying in turn, "Jack's alive." The instant the stick ceases to burn
"Jack" is "dead" and the one who is then holding it has to pay a
forfeit.
