Example: A [turning up card]—“Who is the most selfish person in this room?”
B [who holds the duplicate]—“Evidently I am, but [turning another card] who is the most conceited?”
C—“That must be I. Now [turning card], let us see who is the stingiest.” And so on till the pack is exhausted.
Rolling Chase-ball. Two teams may play this game, and two big balls or footballs are used. The teams line up in parallel rows, the players not facing each other, but behind one another all facing the same way. The leader of each team holds a ball in both hands.
At the appointed signal, the leader, without bending his body or turning his head, tosses the ball backward to the player behind him. The ball is tossed backward again, and so passes along the line. The end player then runs to the head of the line, and the whole process is repeated over again. The end player again goes to the front, and the game is continued until the original leader of the team is again at the head of his line. The team first reaching its order of formation wins the game.
It is essential that the ball should travel swiftly. Should any player drop the ball, he must run for it and regain his place in the line before passing it on. Should a toss be so strong as to pass above the player behind, so that he fails to receive the ball, the ball must be passed back so that the missed player shall handle it.
