Fox and Rabbit
A white bean bag may be used for the rabbit, and a red one for the fox. One child in the circle is given the rabbit, which he sends around the circle by passing it to the next one, and so on. A moment later, the fox is started, giving chase to the rabbit. The latter must reach the child’s hands from which it started, before the fox overtakes it. The players sometimes forget that a fox is coming after the rabbit, and do not help it along.
Bull Fight
Twelve players are needed for the game, which is interesting to watch and makes a good spectacle for a display. The players are — 1 bull, 1 matador, 4 Chulos, and 6 scarf bearers.
Part I
The bull enters the arena (which is a circle formed by non-contestants) with four or five 6-inch strips of paper pinned to his back. The Chulos try to tear off these without being touched by the bull; but if the bull touches them twice, they are dead. The scarf-bearers, who carry their scarves in their hands, run in between the bull and a Chulo if he is hard pressed, and by waving their scarves in the bull’s face, make him follow them. If a Chulo is once touched by the bull, he is dead. Only one strip may be taken at a time.
Part II
When all the strips are off, or all the Chulos killed, the arena is cleared, and the bull blindfolded, with a scarf tied round his neck so that one pull at an end brings it off.
The matador then enters, and has to remove the scarf without being touched by the bull. If he succeeds, the bull is dead.
