Ring on a String

What You'll Need

At least 5 players	A length of string	A large hoop

Rules

1. Stand in a circle. Cut a length of string so that it can be made into a loop, big enough so that everyone can hold of it with both hands and have some slack. Put ring on the string so that it can slide up and down the string. Tie the ends of the string together.

2. Choose someone to stand in the centre of the circle. They must cover their eyes while everyone in the circle chants "who's got the ring, the ring on a string, who's got the ring, the ring on a string" while the circle players passes the ring from player to player.

3. The chant is repeated once more and then the person who's in the middle can open their eyes. Everyone keeps hold of the string with both hands and tries to make it look like they are holding the string.

4. The person in the middle then has to guess who is holding the ring. The person indicated, has to let go of the string to show that they either had the ring or not.

5. If the person in the middle guesses wrong, the person in the middle gets to take their turn in the middle. If the person in the middle chooses correctly, they have another turn.
