(They had that at the end of every school year.) That particular day I went to school in my Sunday best complete with frilly socks and buckled shoes...and I played hopscotch. It's hard to hop in a fru-fru dress!!Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455200539913180050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-66686240117197121762008-09-03T01:38:00.000-07:002008-09-03T01:38:00.000-07:00I'm not British, but we are a British colony, so i...I'm not British, but we are a British colony, so it's sort of the same thing.<BR/><BR/>Stuck in the Mud is like tag. Whoever gets tagged has to stand still with their legs apart, and can only be freed when another player crawls under their legs. It was a kindergarten playground staple back in my day.<BR/><BR/>What's the Time Mr Wolf?: one person is it (the wolf) and has their back turned to the rest. The ones who aren't it have to ask the question 'what's the time Mr Wolf', and the wolf says whatever time he wants. For five o'clock, the others take five steps toward the wolf, etc. When the wolf is satisfied that the others are in reach of him/her, he shouts 'dinner time!' and tries to catch one of them. It's pretty lame, but a classic.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should send these on to Sarah Palin, so she can teach her two new grandchildren these games...Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788823062002371899noreply@blogger.com
