   ring and we chant the rhymn
   Ring a Ring a Rosey,
   A bottle full of posy,
   Hush, Hush, Hush,
   We all tumble down.
   We play Corners indoor in the Winter. Four people get corners and one person goes in the middle as a fool and trys to get a corner from one of them.We pay Little Silly Saucer in the Autumn when the ground is dry and we sing.

   Turn to the little girl you love best.
