Hoken Flyger Hogt - The Hawk Flies High
(from Sweden)

Thanks very much to an anonymous visitor, who sent me this game.

This game is similar to the North American game of "Mother May I?". Everyone stands in a ring. When the leader calls out, "The hawk flies high," everyone jumps. The leader varies the calling with different kinds of birds; "The seagull flies high, the eagle flies high" and so on. After every call the scouts or guides jump. After a while the leader starts calling other animals that cannot fly, for example, "The mouse flies high." Now, you shouldn't jump! The ones that jump anyway take one step backwards. They now have to help the leader identify those who jump at the right time and those who don't.
