To play Post arrange the chairs in a large circle, while one child, chosen for postman, stands blindfolded in the center of the circle. Each of the others must now take a name of some city or town. When ready to begin the postman calls, “A letter is going from Washington to London,” and the children who have chosen these names must change places, while the postman tries to catch one. Whoever is caught must be postman and give up his place to the former postman. If the postman calls, “All the letters are going,” every one must change his seat, and there is a general scramble, in which some one is sure to be caught. |
