  1. (continued from previous page)
    Ghost in the well :- This is played by having one person act as ghost and then the others would come to a line which would be drawn for them and say "I came to the well for a bucket of water" and then the ghost would try to catch them.
    Ring a Rosy :- This is played by getting a crowd of people to catch hands and go around in a ring. Then they all say "Ring a Rosy; a bottle full of posy all to tip the ground." Then all the pupils would fall on the ground when they would hear "all to tip the ground".
