The leader may keep up the interest of the game by comments on the
toilettes. This is most interesting in story form.
A variation of this game introduces the word ball. Whenever this is
spoken of, the players must jump up and change places, the spinner
trying to secure a seat in the general confusion. The odd player becomes
a spinner.
MARY AND JOHN
The players--all but two--form a circle and clasp hands. Two odd players
in the center are called, "Mary" and "John." The object of the game
is for John to catch Mary. As he is blindfolded, he can only locate
her in her stealthy movements by the sound of her muffled voice. When
he says, "Mary, where are you?" she must answer as often as he questions
her.
Mary may stoop or tiptoe, or resort to any means to escape capture,
except leaving the ring.
When Mary is captured she is blindfolded and John takes her seat.
So the game goes on after Mary has chosen a new John.
GOING TO JERUSALEM
This is a piano game, but does not require great skill. One person
goes to the piano, while the others arrange in a line as many chairs,
less one, as there are players, the chairs alternately facing opposite
directions.
