PASS THE RING

Pass the ring is a variation on the "Under Which Nutshell" type of game. The tribe sits on the floor and forms a circle. Thread a long piece of string through a ring or similar object, and tie both ends of the string together to form a large circle of string. The string should be long enough so that each person in the circle will be able to hold on to it with both hands.

The game begins with a contestant who sits in the middle of the circle with his eyes covered. The rest of the tribe begins to slide the ring along the string, passing it to their neighbor, making sure the stringed object is concealed under a cupped hand. When the tribe is ready, the contestant opens his eyes, and gets a specified number of guesses as to who's hand the ring is concealed under.

While the contestant is guessing, the members can either fake or actually pass the ring on, making sure that it is hidden at all times.

The person discovered with the ring becomes the new contestant, or someone else is picked if the previous contestant fails to find the ring in the specified number of tries.
