A very interesting game to play is
"here I break." One of the players
must stand in the middle of the room.
The others Join hands and surround
her. Their aim is to prevent her from
getting out of the ring. She then
passes around the ring, touching the
hands. At the iirst bands she says,
"Here I bake;" at the second, "Here I
brew;" at the third. "llere 1 make my
wedding cake," and at the next. "And
here I mean to break through "
With these last words she makes a
dash to carry out the threat. If she
succeeds the player whose hand gave
way first takes her place iu the middle.
Otherwise she must persevere until the
ring is broken.
