A RUNNING MAZE

Form a long line of children, one behind the other. The leader starts
running, and is followed by all the rest. They must be sharp enough to
do exactly as the leader does.

After running for a moment or two in the ordinary running step, the
leader changes to a hopping step, then to a marching step, quick
time, then to a marching step, slow time, claps and runs with hands on
sides, hands on shoulders, hands behind, etc.

Finally, the leader runs slowly round and round into the center, and
can either wind the children up tightly or can turn them on nearing
the center and run out again. For another change the long line can
start running and so unwind the spiral.

THE COACH AND FOUR

Two children stand hand-in-hand, side by side. These are the front
horses. Two others, close behind, stand also hand-in-hand and side by
side. These are the back horses.

Slip reins over the left arm of one of the front horses, and over
the right arm of the other. The two back horses hold on the reins,
standing inside them. A driver must then be chosen, who gathers up the
reins in his left hand and in his right hand holds a whip.

Running beside him, equipped with a horn and parcels and letters,
is another child, who acts as guard or conductor. The rest of the
children form village streets, by standing in rows facing one another.

The coach and four, with the driver and guard, gallop about the room
and through the villages, the guard blowing his horn and tossing out a
paper or letter here and there.

Change horses every now and then, so that all may have a turn at being
horses. A change of driver and guard, too, is also much appreciated.

When the children have had about enough of this game, start a cheer as
the coach dashes through the villages for the last time. Two coaches
greatly add to the fun and enjoyment, as they have to pass and repass
each other.

MALAGA RAISINS

The players sit in a circle, and one who is acquainted with the trick
takes a small stick in his right hand, makes some funny movements
with it, and then, having taken it in his left hand, passes it to his
neighbor, saying: "Malaga raisins are very good raisins, but I like
Valencias better." He then tells his neighbo
