The person whom the rod quenches in his hands will have to kneel on the floor and close his eyes. All the others continue putting things on his back until he knows what is on his back. Then they start the game again.Another amusing game we play is "Corners". It is played in the following manner. First we all gather together and say "Ink Pink Perry Wink, out goes she". The last person that she falls on is called the fool. All the others take corners around the house. They change from one to another to see if the fool can get a corner. When he gets a corner some other one is the fool. This is continued until the game is finished.
