- (continued from previous page)All those Flowers are all sure to die,
Except this fair maid, she's the fairest of them all,
She can hop, she can jump,
She can turn her back to the wall."
The the child who's name is called will turn his or her back to the other children.
In Fox-and-chickens one is called the Fox another the Hen and the others are chickens. The Fox runs after the chickens and the hen tries to save them. The first two that are caught must take the place of the Fox and Hen. Those are the most common games played by children in Summer.
