  1. One player stands a little distance away from the others and turns his back to them. He then says "Grandmother, Grandmother, one, two, three" and while he is saying that the others keep moving up towards him. He then turns round and who-ever is caught moving up has to go back to the beginning. The first to reach the person calling out is the winner.
