Mother Goose Rhyme Games:London Bridge is Falling Down (Two players from the arch of the bridge by clasping their hands and holding them high. The other players march through the bridge. At the verse "Here's a prisoner I have got" the two at the bridge let their arms fall over the child passing through. They take him aside and ask him which of the two previously agreed upon things he would rather have. The prisoner belongs to the side he chooses. When all players are caught the players line up behind their leaders and have a tug of war. The side succeeding in pulling their opponents over and agreed line, is the winner.)
