  1. 13. "Do This, do That" is a game which children play at school and here is how you play it.
    One girl stands in front of a row of girls and she says "Do this" and every girl is to do what she has done. And when she say "Do that" no body is to do it but some of the girls do it in mistake and then they are knocked out and all those who don't do it carry on with the game. And the time she says "Do that" some girl is sure to make a mistake until at last one girl remains and she is the leader of the next game.
