- WallflowersWallflowers are played with any amount of children. Every person catches each others hands and makes a ring, then they keep going around and saying,
"Wallflowers, Wallflowers growing up so high,
We are all young ladies who never wish to die,
Except one of the crowd, she is the girl I love.
She can dance and she can sing,
And turn her back to the wall again."
Then the persons name they call out will turn her back. Then they keep singing wallflowers until everybody has their backs turned. Then the game is finished.- Collector
