    Skipping,
    playing marbles,
    spinning tops,
    banging buttons,
    four-corner-fool,
    On the carpet you shall kneel,
    London bridge is broken down,
    Nuts and may,
    Bread and wine,
    bar-the-door,
    Here comes the king of trifles,
    Statues,
    Steps,
    High Gates,
    Colours,
    Blind man's buff,
    Around the ring of the pansy,
    The ghost in the garden,
