Then the one that went to seek is called and she guesses who has the ring. She has three guesses but if she does not guess the right one she will have to seek again, but if she guesses the right one the one that had the ring will go and seek and the one that is after seeking will give out the ring and the one that gave out the ring before will stand in to the big ring with the others and the game goes on like that all the time.
