Mukluk
(an Inuit game)

Thanks very much to Saiklor, who e-mailed this game to me!

This Inuit game should only be played by older girls. You need 2 socks and a bunch of girls (10-15 is perfect). All the girls except one sit in a tight circle with their knees drawn up. The other girl stands in the middle. One sock is stuffed inside the other so you have ball at the toe of the sock. Then the sock is passed under the knees around the circle. The person in the middle tries to figure out who has it (other girls are continually faking passing it to confuse her) but the fun part comes in when a girl has the socks and the girl in the centre's back is turned, she can whap the girl with the socks on the butt or legs. The girl in the middle continues to try and find the sock. when she does find it she can use any means necessary to get it (i.e. tackling is permitted) and if she gets it the girl who lost it to her is in the middle.
