This is really a game of guess. Shake a small bag full of beans before
the children, and ask each to guess how many beans are inside.
It will be amusing to watch the eagerness which all will show, and how
far apart the guesses will be.
Whoever comes nearest to the correct number should be presented with
the bag of beans. And this gift will immediately afford healthful and
jolly entertainment, because the bean-bag should be tossed and caught
by one and another until the rosy-cheeked and out-of-breath children
call a halt.
