_10 to 100 players._

_Gymnasium; playground; schoolroom._

_Bean bags; oat sacks._

The players are divided into two or more equal parties which line up
in ranks. Near the front end of each rank is a pile of from ten to
fifteen bean bags or oat sacks, which are to be passed down the line.
At a signal the first player in each rank takes a bag and passes it
down the line, sending the others in succession as rapidly as
possible. The last player in the line when he receives the bean bag
lays it on the floor in front of him; and as each bean bag reaches
him, he piles it on the first one, making a stack. Only the first bag
must touch the floor. The stack must be able to stand without
assistance, and the player who stacks the bags must have no help in
his task. Should the bags fall over at any time, the player who
stacked them must pick them up and pile them over again. The line
scores one which first succeeds in getting all of its bags stacked.
The last player, the one who stacked the bags, then carries them up to
the front of the line and becomes the first passer for the next round
of the game.

The line wins which first scores five or ten, as may be decided
beforehand. The play should be very rapid.
