  1. The Games I Play - Ring a Ring a Roses

    Share Share Post
    The game I like best is Ring a Ring of Roses. A group of girls stand in a ring and catch hands. While they are skipping round they sing this verse
    Ring a Ring of Roses
    Pocket full of posies
    Asha Asha and we all fall down dead.
    The cows in the meadow are eating up the corn.
    Asha Asha and we all get up alive.
