   Witch in the well

   For "The Witch in the well" you need at least four persons or more, one for the witch, one for a mother and the rest for the children. The mother would send the children for water. The witch would run after them and the children would run to their mother and tell her. Then she would come with them the second time, the witch would jump out and follow them and who ever the witch would catch would be the witch the next time. The witch would be the mother and so on.
