Have You Seen My Sheep?

Source: Games For The Playground, Home, School And Gymnasium
Category: MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVE GAMES



_10 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; parlor; gymnasium; schoolroom._

The players stand in a circle. One walks around on the outside, and
touching one of the circle players on the back, asks, "Have you seen
my sheep?" The one questioned answers, "How was he dressed?" The
outside player then describes the dress of some one in the circle,
saying, for instance, "He wears a red necktie; he is dressed in gray
and has low shoes." The one questioned then names the player whom he
thinks this describes, and if right, at once begins to chase him
around the outside of the circle. Each of the circle players must be
very alert to recognize himself in the description given by the
outside player, for immediately that he is named he must run around
the outside of the circle, chased by the player who guessed, and try
to reach his own place before being tagged. The one who gives the
description does not take part in the chase. Should the runner be
tagged before returning to his place, he must take the place of the
questioner, running in his turn around the outside of the circle and
asking of some player. "Have you seen my sheep?"

IN THE SCHOOLROOM
The players remain seated, with the exception of
the one who asks the first question of any player he chooses. This
player at once stands, guesses the player described, and chases him
around the room, the one chased trying to gain his seat before being
caught. If caught, he becomes questioner; if not caught, the same
questioner and guesser play as before.
