    Hide and go Seek.
    Hide and go seek is a game which can be played with any number of boys.
    All the boys will stand in a row and one of the boys gives out this rhyme.
    One,two sky blue,
    All out but you."
    The boy that the last word of the rhyme falls on has to "follow"
    The other boys will go and hide and when they shout the other boy will go and follow them.
    The boys that are caught have to follow the next time.
