  1. Another Game - Rusty Old Miller

    Share Share Post
    A number of children stand in a ring in twos. One says.
    A Rusty old Miller he lived in Mill,
    One hand on the hopper, and the other in the till.
    As the wheel goes round he cries out Grat.
    The person standing at the back then runs, and if she gets in front of some one before she is caught, the person behind has to run, and so on till they are all caught.
