- We play a game called Blackman at school. A number of girls gather in a ring, and one of them gets into the middle of the ring, and she spells out the word blackman, and gives each one a letter. Whoever gets n is out, and so on until everyone is out, and whoever is last is blackman. Then that person catches everyone thats playing, and whoever is last again, is blackman, and on until they get tired playing.
