    Three persons at least are required to play this game called Jenny Jo but any number can play it. This is how tis played. - There is a spot selected and there is a house supposed to be built there. Then a girl is chosen to be Jenny Joe, another is chosen to be her servant and the others are visitors. The visitors come to Jenny Joe's house and they knock at the door. The servant comes out.
    Visitors - We came to see Jenny Joe, Jenny Joe, Jenny Joe, we came to see Jenny Joe, where is she now?
    Servant - She's washing, she's washing and you cant see her now.
    Next day the visitors come again and the servant comes out.
    Visitors - We came to see Jenny Joe, Jenny Joe, Jenny Joe, we came to see Jenny Joe, where is she now?
    Servant - She's ironing, she's ironing and you cant see her now.
    Next day the visitors come again and the servant comes out.
    Visitors - We came to see Jenny Joe
