   She goes around to every person and pretends she is giving them the ring. Their hands are all closed by joining them with an opening on top. She slides her joined hands in between all the other hands one after another and she drops in the ring but no one can know where. She gives the ring to some certain person. They all keep their hands closed so that no one knows who gets the ring. When she pretends she has the ring given to every one she says the ring is in the fire, who has it. She gets a belt and she asks everyone who has the ring. Everyone guesses a special person. Whoever guesses the wrong person gets a slap of the belt on the hand and who ever guesses the person who got the ring that person is free from the slaps.
   When playing "How goes the market a girl gets a rod. Every girl gets a name. The girl who has the rod says to the other children how goes the market? The children answer some one's name. If the girl does not answer quickly she gets a slap. They go on like that until every child has got her turn at How goes the market.
   We play Dallog by putting a cloth across a persons eyes. This person cannot see anything and she must catch the other children
