THE PEBBLE CHASE
Maybe you have played in a paper chase. But have you ever played a pebble chase? Try it while on holiday. It’s good fun. Any number of players cap join in, so you can ask all the little girls and boys playing near you on the sands to come into the game.
Two of the players are the hares, and they collect together a lot of pebbles, which they carry in their buckets. Then they start the game by running off across the sands, dropping pebbles at intervals as they go along. By the way, the pebbles must not be dropped too closely so that they make a continuous trail.. They must break oft occasionally, for the players have got to pick up the trail and follow the hares. The hounds must give the hares a few minutes’ start, and as they pick up the trail they must occasionally pick up a pebble and put It in their bucket. For, you see, they must arrive at the finishing point—chosen by the hares, preferably in some fairly hidden spot—with at least twenty pebbles in their bucket. . The one to get to the finishing point first naturally wins the game, and first and second winners can next take their turn as hares.
