Hollí hú

 The participants stand side by side except one (the leading person) who stands infront of the group and is holding a small ball. He needs to think about a name, man or female name or toys or animal (f.ex. John or Annie). Then when he have decided the name he throw the ball to the person that stand on far at the left side and calls: „ J mans name!“ Then should the person that catch the ball try to guess the name (only one try) that start with an A and throw it back again.  If the name is incorrect the ball is thrown to the next participant in the line. If the first person guessed the right name the leading person throw the ball to the ground og called „Hollí“ and start to run as far from the ball as he can before the person that guessed the right name catched the ball and called „hú“. Then the leading person have to stop og create a „basket“ with both of his hands.  The person that guessed the right name get to take three big steps, three normal steps and three „chicken steps“ forward to the leading person and have to try to get the ball into the „basket“. If he can do that he will become the leading person but if he cant he will be next in line to try to guess.  It is very important to concentrate when you throw the ball into the „basket“ so the leading person dont hurt her self.
