_10 to 30 or more players._

_Parlor._

The players are divided into two parties. One party goes outside of
the room, and those remaining choose some verb, which is to be guessed
and acted by the other party. The outside party is then told some word
which rhymes with the chosen verb. They consult among themselves,
decide on a verb which they think may be the right one, enter the
room, and without speaking act out the word they have guessed. The
inside party must decide from this pantomime if the correct verb has
been guessed. If not, they shake their heads. If right, they clap
their hands. No speaking is allowed on either side. If the outside
party be wrong in their guess, they retire and try another word,
repeating this play until they hit upon the right word, when the two
sides change places.
