_10 to 100 players._

_Gymnasium; playground; parlor; schoolroom._

One player is chosen as leader, the rest being divided into two equal
parties. Each player in one party should tie a handkerchief on the
left arm to indicate that he belongs to the Whites; those in the other
division are called the Blacks. The players stand around the ground
promiscuously, the Whites and Blacks being mingled indiscriminately.

The leader is provided with a flat disk which is white on one side and
black on the other, and preferably hung on a short string to
facilitate twirling the disk. He stands on a stool at one side or end
and twirls this disk, stopping it with one side only visible to the
players. If the white side should be visible, the party known as the
Whites may tag any of their opponents who are standing upright. The
Blacks should therefore drop instantly to the floor, as in Stoop Tag.
Should the black side of the disk be shown, the party of Blacks may
tag the Whites. Any player tagged drops out of the game. The party
wins which puts out in this way all of its opponents. The leader
should keep the action of the game rapid by twirling the disk very
frequently.

This is an excellent game for keeping players alert, and may be
the source of much merriment.
