    "Frog in the middle" is another very popular game played by children at school, and this is how it is played. All the children catch around in a ring, while one who is blind - folded stands in the middle and acts as a frog. The others dance around him and say. "Frog in the middle go round go round." He hops around like a frog, and tries to catch one of them as they go around. If he succeeds in doing so, the other child will have to act as a frog the next time.
