    Tig is a game I often play. The players stand in a row. One player stands and gives out the fun. Who ever gets the last word of the rhyme used is to follow the others, or to run and be followed as the case may be. The following are some of the rhymes.
    "Hide and go seek all of the week,
    sheeps head for monday
    Hallf a crown for Mrs Brown
    TO pay the rent for monday
    In comes another one and out goes she."
    "Wholesome, polesome,
    sacred fame
    Potatoe now, single toe
    out goes she"
    "Each peach, pear , plum
    out goes my every best charm
    O U T spells out"
    "Little rattle, blue, bottle,
    little rattle out
    if you want a piece of jelly,
    just cry out"
