206. Jacob, Where Are You?

Two children go into the ring. One is blindfolded, and tries to catch the other. When he is unable, by the sound to tell where the child is, he calls '"Jacob, where are you?'' and "Jacob" answers, "Here!" thus indicating the direction in which to find him. This is a good exercise in listening. Of course "Jacob" makes as little noiseas posible, in skipping around; and the children in the ring are very quiet, so that the blindfolded child may have every opportunity for listening.

207. Be Thorough.
