This is an amusing game for children. A blackboard is needed upon which the verse, "Peter Piper," etc., is illustrated or written so that the words are mixed up and it will be difficult to point out. Some older person will be needed to superintend the game. One child is given a pointer and as the others sing, to any familiar tune (Yankee Doodle, for instance):
she must point out each word or drawing as quickly as it is sung. If a mistake is made in pointing, the child takes her place with the rest and another child is out. Each one is given a turn. It is an achievement, if done successfully, and some suitable gift should be given as a prize. |
