Cat among pigeons
• This is an outdoor game and any number can play it. One person is the cat and the rest of the players are pigeons. Cat must try to catch the pigeons for a feast, but they can fly and he cannot. The best that cat can do is to touch a pigeon and clip one of its wings. Pigeons run about flapping their arms until cat touches them. When touched once, pigeons must only flap one arm. If they are touched twice, they stop flapping altogether. The third time they are touched they are "eaten” and must go out.
