Then everyone begins to count off, clockwise, and call out his name. For example, the play ers will say: One, I'm Jack Wolf, Two, I'm Tom Halper, Three, I'm Kenny Bell, and so on. Everyone must remember his number. The center player does not have a number, and just gives his name. After everyone has called off, the action starts. The center player calls out two numbers. He may call out, 5 and 12. Then the boys who are numbers 5 and 12 quickly change places. While they are doing this, they must yell their own first name. At the same time, the center player yells out his first name and tries to get one of the empty chairs. If the center player gets to one of the empty chairs first he takes the chair and the number of the boy who had the chair. The boy who lost the chair then becomes the center player and calls out the next numbers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
