Players standing around the circle at marked spots adopt the names of various people and objects found in an inn (innkeeper, innkeeper’s wife, bread, water, milk, meat, hay, oats, etc.). A “traveler” arrives and calls out these names in turn, at which the named players stand up and switch places. At the call “the inn is on fire,” everyone switches places.
