WIND GAMES
The game may be varied by having the children name food products, birds, or animals that are peculiar to the northern, southern, eastern and western sections of the world and this makes more fun perhaps than to ask for names of places. And the children may stand in a circle about the child who throws the bean bag if they wish, but the circle should be quite a wide one. The player who is able to stay in the throwing line longest wins the game.
