- Big BenTen children may play this game. They get a tennis ball and the first girl takes it. Then the girl says "Big Ben strickes ten, hit the knee, hit the toe, clap hands and around she goes". While she says the words she keeps the ball playing off the wall and if she does not let the ball touch the ground she is the winner. Each girl plays the ball and if two or three girls do not let the ball fall there is a tie between them and which ever girl does not let the ball fall is the winner.
