"Hul Gul
An Old Dutch Button Game
Hul Gul is an old Dutch game that children played with buttons. When Dutch children played Hul Gul they used buttons because they were available, but it can be played with buttons, coins, pebbles, dry beans, plastic disks or just about any items small enough to hold in one hand.

To start round up ten small things for each player. The first player puts part of the ten buttons in one closed hand, then he holds out his closed fist toward the other player who says "Hul Gul." (What’s in your hand?)
The first player answers "Hands full" The second player must attempt to guess how many of the ten buttons the first is holding in his closed hand. If he guesses too many, he must give the first player enough of his own buttons to equal his guess. For example if he guesses ten and there were only six, he would give the first player four of his own buttons.
If his guess is too low he must give half of his own buttons to the first player. Keep playing until one player runs out. Then the player with the most buttons wins.
Promises are like crying babies in a theater, they should be carried out at once.
