Princess in the Tower
...and shortly after "Puppy and Bone" was posted, Barbara Greenwood (10th Heswall Brownies, Merseyside, UK) sent this game into the List!
A game we play with Brownies sounds very similar to Jane's puppy and bone. We call it the Princess in the Tower. The "princess" has to be rescued from the "Giant". The Princess sits on a chair doing nothing, her "guardian" points to Brownies at random sitting in a semicircle who have to creep up to rescue the princess without being heard by the Giant who is blindfold - actually our giants hide behind a convenient curtain in the hall and spring out when they hear anything. Our Brownies all love the game which I find quite extraordinary because they are normally very noisy, and sitting very still is quite out of character for most of them!!
