Guess Who

_10 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium; parlor; schoolroom._

Where there are more than ten players, it is desirable to have them
separated into several groups. Each group has a leader, and lines up
in rank (side by side), with the leader in the middle. One odd player
stands in front of the line, facing it.

The odd player asks

"Have you seen my friend?"

The line answers,
"No."

First player

"Will you go and find him?"
"Yes."
"Put your finger on your lips and follow me!"

The player in front then turns around and, with finger to his lips,
runs to another part of the ground, all of the row falling in behind
and following him, each player with finger on lips. When they have
reached a new position, the first player stops with his back to the
line, which re-forms in a new order under the direction of its leader,
so that the players do not stand in the same relative positions as
when the odd player faced the line. One player from the row selected
by the leader now steps forward behind the odd player and says, trying
to disguise his voice, "Guess who stands behind you!"

If the odd player guesses correctly, he retains his position, turns
around, and the dialogue begins over again. If the guess be wrong, the
one who is It changes places with the one whose name he failed to
guess.
