- I play button in winter. I put the button in the heart of my hand and close my hand then. I slip it into someone's hands. I would ask each one "who has the button if they said the wrong one they would get a slap on the hand and the person that would get the button would come out next and play on the same way.
- There could be any number playing tig. Someone counts up to twenty and whoever twenty falls on has to catch the others and whoever she catches will have the tig and so on.
