_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom; playground._

_Bean bags._

Each pupil is provided with a bean bag. A circle about fifteen inches
in diameter is drawn with chalk on the floor directly in front of each
aisle and close up to the front blackboard. At a signal from the
teacher the first pupil in each row of seats runs forward, places his
bean bag in the circle in front of his aisle, and runs back to his
seat. As soon as he is in his seat, the pupil back of him runs
forward, places his bean bag 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.



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.
