Pass the ring

Deduction and Guessing Games

Pass the ring is a family or children's game that needs only a ring or similar small object. One player is the one who is it, and holds the ring between pressed-together hands in a praying-like motion, while the remaining players line up beside each other with their hands held in the same way. The player who is it walks down the line and slides their hands between each player's hands, and at some point discreetly drops the ring into one player's hands. After walking down the whole line, the player who is it picks one person to guess who is holding the ring, and a player who chooses correctly wins the game. The game can also be called Grandmas Pearls, in which case pearls are used in place of a ring.
