    School game - Sally Warner
    The children all join up in a ring and one stands in the middle and closes her eyes. The one in the ring say
    Sally Sally Warner
    Sitting in the corner
    Rise up Sally
    And choose you a man
    Choose to the East
    And choose to the west
    And choose to the fairest
    One you love best
    The one in the middle takes some one in along with herself and when that one goes into the ring the same thing is said.
