  2. Fool in the Middle

    Share Share Post
    Fool in the middle:
    is another very old game. Five children only can play it. Four children stand in a square about six yards apart, and one stands in the middle, and she is called the fool. Each child changes place with another and the one in the centre tries to get one of their places. If she succeeds the one put out in the "fool" and goes in the middle.
