DO YOU HEAR?
This game needs two persons.
Stand at a distance from your confederate who will ask, “Molly, do you hear?” and who will keep up asking the question until some one speaks. Then Molly says she hears and leaves the room.
No sooner out, than her confederate will explain to the company, “I shall hand some one in this room a button, and I shall then ask Molly to tell me who has it.” Having thus explained, he hands the button to the individual who spoke just before Molly left the room. Then the confederate calls, “Molly, who has the button?”
At once Molly replies correctly. The key is very simple, being only to remember the person who spoke as she left the room.
The game when played with a boy, should have the word Johnny substituted for Molly.
