''SANDPIPER" IS COED
GAME FOR CHILDREN

It is not always easy TO amuse
children at a summer place where
there is only the beach to servo as a
playground. therefore the game Of
'Saudpiper" is one well adapted TO
both The place and the little people.
Let them play # in their bathing
suits.
The children. all except two. form
a flock Of sandplpers, hopping up and
down the beach. while the remaining
two are the hunters" who try to
catch the wary birds. They run after
them, singing.
"Sandpiper. sandDiper, hopping on the
sand,
Come. let US catch you. and Join our
bandW
Then the hunters do their best 20
catch two Of the sandpipeTs. who. once
caught, become hunters in their turn.
The only way q sandpiper can escape
being captured is to hop on one leg,
and so long as he IS standing thus, he
is safe; but let him begin TO run. and
he is again prey for the swift hunter.
