  1. Hide and Go Seek
    Any number of children can play this game.
    They all stand in a row and one girl is selected to say the hunt. She points to each child and says a word of the following rhyme for each of them.
    "Ena, Dina, Dina, Doh,
    Catch a [...] by the toe,
    When you catch let him go,
    Ena, Dina, Dina, Doh,
    The girl she stops at is out and she keeps on doing that until they are all out except one then they all go in hide and the one that is left goes after them and whatever girl she catches will have to hunt the next time.
