    for the fox. If there is "o" and "xo" following it, that is one for the goose. When the fox gets one, it is put down under his name. When the goose gets one it is put down under her name and so the game goes on. When the game is ended whoever has the most wins.

  2. Games I Play - After

    Share Share Post
    A number of girls get in a row. One says the following rhyme putting a syllable on each person
    "Eena meena, tipsy teena,
    Lu, la, lumberina,
    Otchy, botchy, subara gotchy
    Om, pom, pu, subara, bubara boo
    And out goes y, o, u."
    Whoever the last syllable falls on is the tigger. They all run, and she tries to catch one. The girl caught is "it" for the next time and so the game goes on.
