_10 to 30 or more players._

_Playground; gymnasium._

The players stand in two lines facing each other, with a large open
space representing a river between. One player, representing the water
sprite, stands in the middle of the river and beckons to one on the
bank to cross. This one signals to a third player on the opposite bank
or side of the river. The two from the banks then run across to
exchange places, the water sprite trying to tag one of them. If the
water sprite be successful, he changes places with the one tagged.

This is a Chinese game, reported by Miss Adele M. Fielde, and
is based upon the superstition that a water sprite waits in the
middle of a stream to entice people into it, probably an
outgrowth of spring freshets.
