This game, also described by Gołębiowski, is suitable for primary schools and the lowest grades of secondary schools. The children form a circle, into the center of which two players enter with their eyes blindfolded. One of them—the corncrake—strikes two small sticks together, producing a sound like the call of this bird, thus making his presence known. The other—the hunter—tries to strike the corncrake.
