Find seven pieces of stones which are over and over.That is enough! We also need a ball to a ball to shoots at seven stones. Players meet and they are divided into two groups. After setting the stones over and over to 8-10 steps away, you draw a shooting line. First group is chosen by toss. Seven stones are put over and over like a tower. The first group to throw the ball makes a line. The other group waits on the tower. If the escaping group makes the tower again they get the point and they get the right to shoot again.

ØIf one of players in the court can catch one of thrown balls, he or she will have one more life to continue the game. Or he or she can bring back one of his or her own eliminated players.

What’s the time Mr Wolf?
•One child is chosen to be Mr Wolf, who then stands at one end of the playing area. The other players stand in a line at the other end. Mr Wolf turns his back to commence play. The players call out, "What's the time Mr Wolf?" and Mr Wolf turns and answers with a time (i.e. 3 o'clock). He then turns his back again while the children advance again chanting "What's the time Mr Wolf?" To which Mr Wolf will continue to respond until the players come very close. Once the line of players is close to Mr Wolf, he can respond to the chant with "It's dinner time!" at which point, he will chase the players back to the starting line with the aim to catch one of the them, who will then become Mr Wolf for the next round of the game.
