- When we are going to play frog in the middle we all join together to form a ring then one steps into the centre and is blindfolded than the ring goes round and round singing "Frog in the middle,catch all you can, catch all you can, catch all you can, frog in the middle catch all you can", and the person in the middle tries to catch someone and when she has one caught she has to guess their name and if she guesses right, that person has to go in to the middle and the game begins again
