Games I play at school
The Duke's Arrival. This is a familiar game in our school. IN this game no special number is needed to play. Out of all the children that are playing one child goes a little distance away from the rest and she is the Duke. The following are the words used in playing the game.
Duke: "There came a duke a riding, a riding, a riding.
There came a duke a riding y-o-u".
Other Children: "What are you riding here for, here for, here for? What are you riding here for y-o-u".
Duke: "I'm riding here to marry, to marry, to marry. I'm riding here to marry y-o-u".
Other children: "Marry one of us sir, us sir, us sir. Marry one of us sir y-o-u"
Duke: "You are all too black and dirty, dirty, dirty. You are all too black and dirty, dirty, dirty. You're all too black and dirty y-o-u".
Other Children: "We are just the same as you sir, you sir, you sir".
