    331.
    "High Gates" while the second person that came out from the ring ran after the other in and out under the gates until she caught her.
    Then the first out went into the ring and the other stayed outside to begin the game again.
    Tig
    When a group of children gets together going to play tig one stands out and says
    "Ickity, pickity I salikity.
    Ump pel aery jig.
    Any man who has no hair ought to wear a wig
    Ickity pickity I salikity
    Ump pel aery jig O.U.T. spells "Out" & out you must go" One syllable on every person including himself.
    The person that "Out" falls upon is out and the person who is in is the Tigger. He chases the others till he catches one who then becomes Tigger. If a person has to stop running (to tie his shoe for instance) he crossed his fingers & says "Crosslocks" & he cannot be tigged.
