A well-known game. The patrol stands in a circle, facing inward, holding a ring threaded on a string in their hands. They move their hands so that the ring circulates from hand to hand—unseen. A boy standing in the center tries to catch the ring in the hand of one of the players. If he succeeds, he takes that player’s place, and the caught player goes to the center.
