    Cock-Robin
    A number of girls may play this game. They first get into a ring. Two of the players get into the middle of the ring one of which kneels down on the ground. The ring of girls keep walking around the two girls who are on the ground. Whilst walking around they say "Cock Robin is dead and gone to his grave". The game goes on until the Cock-Robin arises and runs after the person who who is standing behind her. If she is caught she is then the Cock-Robin.
