a table, but they must be arranged in
the form of a square.
Then give them a sheet and direct
them to hold it up in such a way that
it will be close under their chins and
be stretched out as a level between
them. In the middle Of the sheet put
a fluffy white feather, to represent
the "passport"-a snowf1ake-and the
players around the sheet, who repre-
sent the winds, begin to blow 1t about
in every direction.
One player stands outside the
| square and tries to catch the feather,
either on one of the players or in
front of one of them. He takes ad-
vantage of the laughter OF the player,
who cannot blow the feather away,
and having thus caught it, it becomes
his "passport' to the players place,
who then, in his turn, tries his hand
at feather catching.
If the feather is blown OIL the sheet
it much be placed back in the middle.
