  1. We play "tig" at home and at school. One person is "down" and has to run after the resto fo us to catch us. We say a rhyme to see who will be down each time. Here are some of our rhymes.
    "As I went up the garden
    I found a little farthing,
    I gave it to my mother
    To buy a little brother,
    My brother was a sailor,
    he sailed across the sea.
    How many fishes did he catch,
    One, two and three."
    We point to each one saying a word of the rhyme and whoever "three" falls on is down.
