- School rhyme - Granny Gray.Some one will sit in a corner and pretend she is an old woman, and the rest will join up and say
Granny Granny Gray
Will you let us out to play
We won't hunt the ducks
Or we won't run away.Then the old woman will say
it's raining but they will come again and say the same thing and the old woman will always have an excuse. At long last she will let them out. Then they will go after the ducks shouting and she will go out after them and bring them in again.
