- We play "tig" at home and at school. One person is "down" and has to run after the resto fo us to catch us. We say a rhyme to see who will be down each time. Here are some of our rhymes.
"As I went up the garden
I found a little farthing,
I gave it to my mother
To buy a little brother,
My brother was a sailor,
he sailed across the sea.
How many fishes did he catch,
One, two and three."
We point to each one saying a word of the rhyme and whoever "three" falls on is down.(continues on next page)- Collector
