- Tig is a game I often play. The players stand in a row. One player stands and gives out the fun. Who ever gets the last word of the rhyme used is to follow the others, or to run and be followed as the case may be. The following are some of the rhymes.
"Hide and go seek all of the week,
sheeps head for monday
Hallf a crown for Mrs Brown
TO pay the rent for monday
In comes another one and out goes she.""Wholesome, polesome,
sacred fame
Potatoe now, single toe
out goes she""Each peach, pear , plum
out goes my every best charm
O U T spells out""Little rattle, blue, bottle,
little rattle out
if you want a piece of jelly,
just cry out"(continues on next page)- Collector
