This is how we play shooting crows.
A ball is the gun. The ball is given to one person while the others run about shouting "caw caw". The player with the gun fires at the crows. All the crows that are struck must fall. This continues until one crow remains. He takes the ball and shoots at the rest and so on.
Her is how rock salt is played. A ball or pencil or something small like that is used. Somebody hides it while the rest hide. When the thing is hidden the hider shouts "rock-salt". The rest search for it and whoever finds it hides it the same as before and so on.- Collector
