To play ring on a string you need to all sit in a circle close enough that you can easily touch hands with the person either side of you, you need a large piece of string big enough to stretch around the whole group, you put a ring (no stone, it would be painful) onto the string and the string is tied into a large circle. One player stands in the middle and is made to close their eyes, each person holds the string and the ring is passed from person to person. The person in the middle then opens their eyes and tries to identify under whose hand the ring is under, by tapping on the hand they wish to check under. The players holding the string each try to pass the ring onto their neighbors so they are not caught with the ring, whoever gets caught with it then takes a turn in the middle. You can play with all ages groups and my children love it, I played it with my grandparents, parents and cousins. The favourite trick of some people is to put the ring on and hope that the person in the middle doesn’t notice!

I hope that makes sense
