ag in the circle, and returns to his seat.
This is continued until every pupil in the row has deposited his bean
bag, the signal for each player to start being the seating of the
player in front. The row which gets all of its bags first into the
circle wins, and scores one.

[Illustration Diagram: FETCH AND CARRY RELAY]

The play is then reversed. The last player in each row runs forward,
picks up a bean bag, and returns to his seat. As he sits, he touches
the player in front on the shoulder, who then starts forward, but must
wait for this signal. The row which first gets back to its seats, each
player with a bean bag, wins and scores one.

As in all schoolroom games in which the players run through the
aisles, those who are seated must be very careful to keep their feet
under their desks, and never to start before the proper signal is
given for their turn.

HAND OVER HEAD BEAN BAG

_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

This is a relay passing race, the different rows of pupils competing
with each other in passing bean bags backward over the head.

The players should all be seated, there being the same number in each
row of seats. On each front desk a bean bag should be laid. At a
signal the first player in each row lifts the bean bag over his head
and drops it (it should not be thrown) toward the desk behind him,
immediately clasping his hands on his own desk. The next player
catches or picks up the bean bag from his desk and passes it backward
in the same manner. It is thus passed quickly to the rear of the line.
When the last pupil receives it, he runs forward at once to the front
of the line. As soon as he reaches the front desk, the entire row of
players move backward one seat, and the player who ran forward takes
the front seat, immediately passing the bag backward to the player
next behind him.

The play thus continues until the original occupant of the front seat
has again returned to it. Immediately that he is seated, he should
hold the bean bag up with outstretched arm, as a signal that his row
has finished. The row wins whose leader first does this.

JUMP THE BEAN BAG

_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

The class is divided into two equal divisions or teams. The teams
stand in opposite outside aisles and face the center of the room. The
game consists in a contest between the two divisions as to which shall
finish first in the following relay, here described for one team.
