  1. Games - Colours

    Share Share Post
    All the children stand along the wall, then one firl is chosen to represent an angel and another to represent the devil. One girl gives the colours. The angel comes first and says : "Tick-tack two". "Who comes here"
    and the angel replies with "the angel with the white hair". The girl says "What do you want?" and the angel says "Colours", and then the angel must guess the correct colours. Both devil and angel get three chances, and the game continues this way.
