How Do You Play Ghost In The Graveyard?
• Find some friends to play with. The more people you can round up, the better. • Designate one house’s yard or another area in the neighborhood for the playing field. You will need a home base on which everyone can stand or all touch at the same time such as a large tree, front stoop, or back patio. • Choose one person to be the “ghost”. You can do this any way you like: picking a number, asking for a volunteer, rock, paper, scissors, etc. • Have everyone but the ghost stand at the home base while the ghost runs off to hide somewhere outside. • Chant slowly as a group, “One o’clock… two o’clock… three o’clock…” and so on, up to twelve o’clock. Then shout, “Midnight! I hope I don’t see the ghost tonight!” Alternatively, “Starlight, star bright, I hope to see a ghost tonight!” In another alternative, if using a tree or a basketball pole, have everyone keep one hand on it while chanting with their eyes closed and slowly walk around the tree or pole until they get to twelve o’clock,
