Put the candle out
RULES OF THE GAME
This Sheet is to be pinned up against the wall. Divide the Extinguishers amongst the players. Each player in turn stands opposite the Candle, about three yards distance, and after being blindfolded, walks slowly towards it and endeavours to extinguish the Candle by pinning the Extinguishers over the flame.
Cut this strip off, paste on cardboard, then cut each out with scissors. Put the pin through the ball of the extinguisher.
