ce fold arms, thus avoiding being given the beetle a second time.
HAWK AND HEN
A file of ten or twelve players, so-called "hens," stand in line behind
each other, hands on shoulders of player in front. The first player
raises her arms shoulder high to protect those behind her. One player,
the "hawk," tries to catch one of the hens, not the first and second of
the file. The first hen must face the hawk throughout all the movements
and in order to keep out of the hawk's reach, all the other hens must
keep in line with her. A hen caught is out of the play. Both the hawk
and first hen take position at rear end of the file, the next two hens
becoming hawk and hen.
BOGEY-MAN
One player, called the Bogey-Man, stands on one goal. All the other
players stand on the goal opposite. The Bogey-man runs out and calls
"Are you afraid of the Bogey-Man?" at which the other players run
forward toward his goal, whereat the Bogey-Man tries to capture one of
the players. The one caught must follow the Bogey-Man to the opposite
goal and from here both run, with or without joining hands, to catch
the rest of the players. When all have been caught, the first player
caught becomes "Bogey-Man."
DAY AND NIGHT
The players are divided into two teams formed in two lines about three
feet apart, facing in opposite directions.

Goal
The leader has a disk painted black on one side and white on the other.
A coin may be used in place of a disk. In front of each party at a
distance of about fifteen paces is a goal. The leader throws up the
disk. If the white side is up when the disk has alighted, he calls out
"Day." The day party then rushes toward its goal and the night party
pursues, catching as many of the "Day" party as possible. These they
take back to their own goal. The captured members are now out of the
game. The sides return to their places and the disk is thrown up again.
The game is continued until all players on one of the sides are out.
