  1. A Game - Frog in the Well

    Share Share Post
    This is a game which the scholars like playing namely "Frog in the well". They play it in this way: The children gather in a ring and one child goes into the middle of the ring and goes down on her knees and closes her eyes. They all go round in the ring shouting "Frog in the well you won't catch me". Then the child gets up off her knees and catches someone. The person that is caught goes in and does the same thing over again and so on like that until the game is over.
