One player acts as "Mother" and another as "daughter Jenny Jo" The remaining children then move off a little distance from "Mother" and "Jenny Jo" and soon they return saying- "We've come to see Jenny Jo, Jenny Jo, Jenny Jo". "We've come to see Jenny Jo. Where is she now?" The mother replies for her daughter Jenny Jo, who has moved out of sight. "Jenny Jo is washing clothes, washing clothes, washing clothes. Jenny Jo is washing clothes, so ye can't see her now."
   The children then go away and return again repeating the same words "We've come to see Jenny Jo" rc rc [?].
   The "Mother" replies "Jenny Jo is starching clothes, starching clothes, starching clothes. Jenny Jo is starching clothes, so you can't see her now."
