  1. Games Played at School

    Share Share Post
    (The) Draw, draw a bucket of water. This is the way we play the game. Four girls catch hands and they swing backwards and forwards saying
    Draw, draw a bucket of water
    For a lady's daughter,
    One in a bush,
    Two and a thrush
    And a nice little lady,
    Hopped under the bush.
    Then they catch and start jumping and singing : " Jump, jump, sugar a lump".
