    This is a list of the games I play:
    "London Bridges",
    "Here Come the Robbers",
    "Colours",
    "Birds",
    "Follow",
    "The Old Witch",
    "Here We Come for Nutsy May",
    "Here come the Gipies",
    "I have a little Dog",
    "Frog in the Pan",
    "Wall Flowers",
    "Poor Sally was-a-weeping".
    This is the way "London Bridges" is played. Two children catch hands like a bridge. Then the others catch hands and run out under the bridge and they say this rhyme as they are passing out:
    "London Bridges falling down, falling down, London Bridges falling down, fall-ing-down."
    The last one in the line is stopped
