Lurabog, Larabog : - We play "Lurabog, Larabog" as follows. All the children sit in a circle and put out their feet while another child gets a stick and names the children's feet by saying this rhyme
"Lurabog, Larabog limber lock,
Five miles at ten oclock,

His bone was cut and for that same reason pull in that foot"
The child on whom the word "foot" falls pulls in her foot and the rhyme is repeated until all feet are in. Then we begin over again.- Collector
