Squirrel And Nut

_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

All of the pupils but one sit at their desks with heads bowed on the
arms as though sleeping, but each with a hand outstretched. The odd
player, who is the squirrel, and carries a nut, runs on tiptoe up and
down through the aisles, and at his or her discretion drops the nut
into one of the waiting hands. The player who gets the nut at once
jumps up from his seat and chases the squirrel, who is safe only when
he reaches his nest (seat). Should the squirrel be caught before he
reaches his nest, he must be squirrel the second time. Otherwise the
player who received the nut becomes the next squirrel.

It is scarcely necessary to say that the other players wake up to
watch the chase.
