    I play a lot of games at home and at school.
    Here are some of them "The Farmer goes a riding" "There was a girl in our school" "Sugar-stick and Candy" "Here we go gathering nuts in May" " A duck goes a riding" and "Blind mans Buff." In "the Farmer goes a riding" "The duck goes a riding" "Here we go gathering nuts in May" and Sugar-stick and Candy, the children join hands in two lines and dance in and out and sing the rhyme of the game.
    This is the rhyme of "Sugar-stick and Candy" - Who will buy the milking can,
    The milking can
    The milking can
    Who will buy the milking can, Sugar-stick and Candy.
    We will buy the milking can
    The milking can
    The milking can
    We will buy the milking can, Sugar-stick and Candy
    Where will you get the money to buy
    The money to buy
