  2. Games We Play - Fish in the Pan

    Share Share Post
    The children join hands in a ring and a child is blindfolded and put in the middle. The children in the ring run round saying
    " Fish in the pan catch all you can."
    The fish catches one child and tries to tell his name by feeling. If he succeeds that child is blindfolded and if not he has to try again.
