CIRCLE GAME.

Make a target of brown wrapping-paper, and put the number 100 on the

bull’s eye. Outside of this mark five rings, making the largest one

two feet in diameter, the others proportionately smaller. Inside of

these rings put the numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, the centre as stated

being 100. Mark out a space on the ground for a base five feet away;

place the target on the ground, blindfold a player, lead him to the

base, and turn him around twice, and leave him facing the target. He

is now entitled to roll three marbles, and then remove the blindfold.

His count will be the added numbers in the rings at which his marbles

have stopped. Should any of them stop on a line, he is entitled to the

largest number adjoining. No marbles must be moved, and each boy has

the privilege of trying the ground once with each marble, before being

blindfolded.
