THIS IS A GAME PLAYED IN SCHOOL, IN A CLASSROOM.
THE TEACHER CHOOSES ONE PERSON TO SIT AT THE TEACHER'S
DESK. A BLACKBOARD ERASER IS PLACED UNDER THE TEACHER'S
CHAIR AND THEN ONE STUDENT IS CHOSEN TO STEAL THE
BLACKBOARD ERASER FROM UNDER THE CHAIR WHILE ONE SITTING
AT THE TEACHER'S CHAIR IS BLINDFOLDED. WHEN THE PERSON
WHO TAKES THE ERASER IS BACK AT HIS SEAT, EVERYBODY
SAYS: "OPEN YOUR EYES-DOGGIE, DOGGIE, YOUR BONE IS
GONE-GUESS WHO'S GOT IT." THE PERSON THEN GETS
THREE GUESSES TO FIND WHO TOOK THE ERASER.
