The purporse of the this paper was to make clear the participants of the folk-games in Britain. I could collect 47 towns or regions where I have found recorded the participant of the folk-games. I explored these collected instances in folkroric aspect: who regulate and manage games, what people participate in them, the games were played by children or adults, how are the sides chosen, or played between two communties or two divisions of a community ? and so on. I impressed on geoglaphical variety in participating of folk-games. In general the age grope and social class of the participants was almost alike evrywhere. But communal pressure to participate and way of chosesides was variety in local tradition. One of the most striking feature of them is the composition of the groups of opposing players: parish against parish, one side of a community against another, town against country and once, most curiously, unmarried against marrid women. Bachelors against married men, for example, was only recorded from some parishes in Scotland, the north country and Cornwall. The way of female participate of the game also was variety. Although the largest role that women could hope for in games was that of spectator, women was the only person who could play game in Invaresk and Kirkwall.
