    Dallóg
    A cloth which is called a dallóg is put over one of the children's eyes and he can not see through it. The children walk about the house. The other child walks about the house with his hands out from him in order that if any one passes he will be caught. If he thinks that any one is hiding he shouts "You must keep walking". Sometimes he bumps up against the table or a chair. He keeps searching until he finds someone. The one who is caught will have to follow the next time. That is how Dallóg is played.
