    Only five can play the game.
    You get four stones and one person stands at each stone with one in the middle for a fool.
    Each one runs from stone to stone at the signal.
    The fool tries to get to a stone and when he reaches it the person caught out of this place must be the fool in the middle.
    It is an outdoor game.
