_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

_Bean Bags._



The players stand in line in the aisles between the desks, all facing
to the right or left (facing open windows preferred). The first player
at the front of each line will hold a bean bag in his right hand, if
facing left, or in his left hand, if facing right. At the command
"Start!" the bean bag must be passed toward the rear to each player,
in turn, until the player at the end of the line receives it. Each
player, after passing the bean bag, must place one hand on his desk
and the other on the back of his chair, jump over his chair, turn,
jump back again, and take his position in the aisle by the next seat,
moving back one seat toward the rear of the line each time the bean
bag has been passed, and so on until he returns to his place in line.
The player receiving the bean bag at the end of the line must run to
the head of the line, as shown in the diagram, and pass the bag to the
next player. This continues until each player returns to his place in
line. The line wins whose original leader first gets back to his own
place.

This game was originated by Mr. James J. Jardine, of New York
City, and received honorable mention in a competition for
schoolroom games conducted by the Girls' Branch of the Public
Schools Athletic League of New York City in 1906. It is here
published by the kind permission of the author, and of the
Girls' Branch, and of Messrs. A. G. Spalding & Brothers,
publishers of the handbook in which the game first appeared.
