- (continued from previous page)two lines in the fire and drawing a line across them and someone is asked to show Rúscaí, and when showing it his finger is hit with the tongs.For "button", a crowd of children go in a line and someone gives out the button. They join their hands and the person that goes round with the button lets it drop into someone's hands. When all are gone round on, one child is asked now many slaps will he get, and if he says three slaps he gets the three slaps. If he named the person who had it, he would go next round with the button.To play "Horns" we say "Horns horns, cows horns" or cats horns and so on and when an animal without any horns is said in the fuss and hurry some put up their hands and then the laughing and slapping begins.
