  1. 6. To play statues about six or seven children stand in a row and one of them is the leader. The leader stands in front of them and he calls out one of the names and whoever he calls steps forward and the leader swings the child around and whatever position he stops in he has to stay that way. When all the children are statues the leader goes around to the first and tries to make him move or laugh and so on until he gets to the end and whoever does not move or laugh becomes the leader.
