  1. 7. This is a game played by children in school. All the children join hands and form a circle and what ever girl says "I will be frog in the middle" stands in the middle of the circle with her eyes closed and the children go around saying "Frog in the middle you cannot catch me". When she succeeds in catching a girl the latter goes in and takes her turn in the centre.
