ge voice be heard in this way, the little guesser is considered correct if he answer, "Good morning, stranger!" GUESS WHO _10 to 30 or more players._ _Playground; gymnasium; parlor; schoolroom._ Where there are more than ten players, it is desirable to have them separated into several groups. Each group has a leader, and lines up in rank (side by side), with the leader in the middle. One odd player stands in front of the line, facing it. The odd player asks:-- "Have you seen my friend?" The line answers, "No." First player:-- "Will you go and find him?" "Yes." "Put your finger on your lips and follow me!" The player in front then turns around and, with finger to his lips, runs to another part of the ground, all of the row falling in behind and following him, each player with finger on lips. When they have reached a new position, the first player stops with his back to the line, which re-forms in a new order under the direction of its leader, so that the players do not stand in the same relative positions as when the odd player faced the line. One player from the row selected by the leader now steps forward behind the odd player and says, trying to disguise his voice, "Guess who stands behind you!" If the odd player guesses correctly, he retains his position, turns around, and the dialogue begins over again. If the guess be wrong, the one who is It changes places with the one whose name he failed to guess. GYPSY _5 to 10 players._ _Indoors; out of doors._ This is one of the traditional dramatic games, obviously an abbreviated form of _Mother, Mother, the Pot Boils Over!_ One player is selected for gypsy, and one for the mother. The others are children. The gypsy remains in hiding while the mother says to her children, pointing to the different ones in turn:-- "I charge my children every one To keep good house while I am gone; You and you, but specially you, Or else I'll beat you black and blue." The mother then goes away and blinds her eyes. During her absence the gypsy comes in, takes away a child, and hides her. The gypsy repeats this until all of the children are hidden. The mother returns and finds her children gone, whereupon she has to find them. When all have been found and brought back home, all chase the gypsy.
