5? Woodcraft Birch Bark Roll The first No. 1 back at the starting line with peanut safely transported on spoon, wins. | Feather and Fans A fluffy feather out of a cushion will do for this game; and if there are not enough fans to go round, stiff pieces of paper or thin card will do quite as well. Draw a line across the floor, and let half the number of players be on one side, and half on the other. When all are ready, toss the feather into the air, and keep it up with the fans. No play- ers must leave their side of the line, but should do their best to stop the feather sailing across it. Those in whose country it falls at last, lose the game. Of course, the feather while in flight, must not be touched. Target Ball A large sized blackboard is marked like a target, with 3 or 4 concentric rings. The center ring should be about 12 inches in diameter ; and the others 2 feet, 3 feet, and 4 feet respectively. The bull should be about head-high. The throwing balls should be of the soft pattern, about the size of a tennis ball. They should be kept in a box, the bottom of which has been rubbed with a very slight powdering of chalk. Quite a tiny quantity is enough to smear the balls so that they will leave a faint mark on the target where they hit. A mark cutting one of the target lines, scores the higher point. Lock Arm Tag Players are arranged in pairs in a circle. The players in each pair lock inside arms and place the outside arm on hips. - There should be a distance of at least three feet between each pair. Two players are selected. One is “it” and chases the other. The player being chased can link arms with either man in any pair in the circle. This makes three men. The man who has an opposite arm is then subject to being tagged by “it.” Players are allowed to run through or around the any one of the players in any pair within the circle, he 1s not mediately tag back; but as soon as he has linked arms with circle in either direction. A man upon being tagged can im- subject to being tagged.
