  1. Games I Play - Three Jolly Welshmen

    Share Share Post
    Three Jolly Welsh Men
    One of them goes and stands away from the others. Then the other three go and pick some thing to do, such as pulling flowers or posting a letter.
    They come up and sing this ryhme
    "Three Jolly Welsh men
    coming from a walk sir"
    And the girl thats up at the wall says
    What can you do sir?
    Anything you like sir
    Show me how
    Then they imitate some thing.
    if the girl guesses what it is she runs after them and catches one. This one is it, and so the game continues.
