IT'S AN UNDER WATER KEEP AWAY GAME. THE PERSON WHO IS "IT" MUST KEEP HIS EYES CLOSED WHILE SWIMMING AROUND. HE YELLS MARCO
AND THE OTHER PLAYERS SAYS POLO. THE PERSON WHO IS "IT" TRIES TO TAG THEM. IF THE OTHER

BULLY HORN
THIS IS A GAME FOR A COLD NIGHT AND IS TAKEN PART
BY BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS. A "GOAL" WAS SELECTED,
USUALLY THE CART ENTRANCE TO A FACTORY. AFTER
TOSSING FOR OR MUTUALLY APPOINTING A "GOALIE," THE
PLAYERS SCATTERED AND HID THEMSELVES IN SOME
CONVENIENT SPOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO THE GOAL.
WHEN EVERYONE WAS HID, ONE OF THEM WOULD SHOUT:
"BULLY HORN" AND THE GOALIE BEGAN HIS SEARCH. ON
SPYING A RIVAL HE NAMED HIM AND RETURNED TO THE "GOAL"
AND CONTINUED HIS SEARCH UNTIL ALL WERE SPIED. IF,
HOWEVER, ONE OF THE "HIDERS" GOT TO THE GOAL FIRST,
THE GAME BEGAN AGAIN.
