_10 to 60 or more players._

_Playground; seashore; gymnasium; schoolroom._

_Bean bags; blocks of wood; stones; shells._

This game may be played with bean bags, or when out of doors,
especially at the seashore, with small blocks of wood, stones or
shells. The players should be divided into groups of equal numbers,
which compete against each other. A small ring should be drawn on the
ground or floor measuring from twelve to eighteen inches in diameter,
one ring opposite each group of players, who should be lined up in
single file. The leader of each row should toe a starting line drawn
across the ground at from ten to fifteen feet from the row of circles.
Each row should be provided with six bean bags or other objects for
throwing, as indicated above.

At a signal, the leader of each row throws each of his bags in
succession toward the circle, and scores one point for each bag that
lands within the circle. Any bag that touches the line does not count.
The player then takes up his bags and runs back to the rear of the
line, giving the bags as he passes to the front player of his row, who
should have moved up to the starting line. These second players, in
turn, all begin throwing on a signal. The line wins which has the
highest score when all have thrown.

It is advisable to have some one to act as scorer for all of the
lines; though it is practicable for the first player in each line to
act as scorer for his line.

IN THE SCHOOLROOM
When this game is played in the schoolroom a
circle should be drawn on the floor near the front blackboard opposite
each aisle; across the end of each aisle, and even with the front row
of desks, should be drawn a throwing line. The game should start with
the six bean bags on each front desk. At a signal the front pupil in
each row steps forward to the throwing line and throws the six bags in
succession for his circle. Each bag that lands fully within the circle
scores one point for him. No score is made for a bag that touches a
line. He then steps to the blackboard in front of his aisle, and
writes down his score; then gathers up the bags, places them on the
front desk, and takes his seat. When he is seated the player next
behind him steps forward to the throwing line and repeats the play;
or, if desired, the next row of players across the room may wait for
the teacher's signal for doing this, as the game is played for a score
and not on time limits.

The row wins which has the highest score when each of its players has
thrown.
