- A game of TigThis is how a game of tig is played. All the players line up by a wall and one of them counts or says a short rhyme as follows.Wonery youry hickery hairy halabo crackedy dillabo dairy. Dickson danson marry go ree, give me a spear to catch a fat ear, Beethery bathery tear away sathery tathera pickedy go.
Who ever the last word of the rhyme falls on has the tig and has to follow the rest, if he is able to tip any of them, he had the the tig and has to try and tip some of the others. John Ryan, Newtown, Fethard on sea.- Collector
