Priest of the Parish
Equipment list
Layout
Sit in a ring, with a gap at one point.
Rules
The scout to the left of the gap when looking from the centre is called The Priest. The next scout round (moving left) is Jack, then carrying on left, number off from one. Note, these numbers refer to where the scouts are sitting, not the scouts themselves.
Jack always starts a round.
"The Priest of the parish has lost his hat, some say this, some say that, but I say n 123".
By the time Jack gets to 3 the player sitting in seat n needs to have started to say "Not I".
If the player fails then they move to the end of the line furthest from the priest (in numbers, they'll be sitting on the other side of the gap to the priest). Jack restarts.
If the player does say it in time, they carry on:
Challenged : "Not I"
Challenger : "Who then?"
Challenged : "n 123"
And so on.
Only Jack can challenge the Priest.
Scoring
Aim to become the priest
