    children pass under them while saying "Dan ,Dan thread the needle everyone pass by except the very lastman".The last person is stopped and asked the question "Which do you prefer "cream" or "butter".If the child who is questioned says "cream" she goes behind the person whose name is cream,but if she says butter she goes behind the person whose name is "butter".When all the line is gone they join hands and pull with all their strength to see which force is the strongest.
