    on very cold days we play "Pig's porridge hot".
    Facing partner we place our hands flat on our sides, then clap them together, behind our backs then in front - Both partners clap hands together, right hand to left hand and vice versa - during which times is said:-
    Pigs Porridge hot,
    Pigs Porridge cold,
    Pigs Porridge in the pot,
    Nine days old.
    Some like it hot,
    Some like it cold,
    Some like in the pot,
    Nine days old.
