  1. In winter when the nights are long and cold little girls and boys like to have some amusing game to play while sitting round the fire.
    "I Spy" is a very interesting game which is played with any number of people. One player selects the name of some article, and says "I spy, with my little eye" and gives out the intial of the name of the article, and the player that guesses the name properly gives out the initial of a different name the next time, and so on until everybody has had a turn.
