King and Queen.
Two chairs are put on the floor apart from one an other and a ring is put between them. One person is told to go out. Another person pretends he is a king and another person pretends she is a Queen. When the other children have the chairs ready they call the person in and interduse him to the King and Queen. They tell him to sit down between them. When he is sitting down the King and Queen stand up and the person falls to the ground between the two chairs.
