(In this game, several children are needed. They all stand in a large circle, holding hands, while one child is the farmer. That child chooses a wife from the children who are holding hands and they stay within the circle. The one who is the wife picks one of the children who is holding hands to be the child. The three stand in the circle and so on. Once the cheese is picked all of the children leave the middle of the circle and join the children who make the circle, holding hands. The one who is the cheese is left alone in the middle of the circle. The cheese then becomes the farmer and the game begins again.)
