Line up two even groups facing each other with hands joined. At a given
signal each leader, the first person in each line, picks up with his
free hand as many peanuts as possible from a large bag at his feet. He
passes them to the person next to him, who in turn passes them to the
person next to him, and so on. The person at the very end of the line
deposits them in a bag at his feet. At the end of two or three minutes
a signal from the director ends the game. The peanuts passed by each
line are counted and the total amount is divided among the players of
the line which passed the greatest number in the given time.
Of course in passing the peanuts the players must not unclasp hands. If
a peanut is dropped, two people with hands clasped must pick it up.
