| Welcome to Kidswordz |

| Hi. My name is Ellie and I'm 9 years old. I live in England and I have a twin brother. We enjoy playing outside with our friends. We live in the country so there's lots of fields, woods and streams to play in. We have lots of games and rhymes that we use for choosing players like who's in or it or the leader. This page is for a school project to tell you about these games and rhymes so that other kids can use them as well. |
| Last one to the tree - We have a race and the last one to the tree is It. |
| Pud Plum - For this game you have to stand opposite someone else. You both walk towards each other by making your heel touch your other foot's toe in each step. You have to chant 'Pud - Plum' for the steps and the last person to get their whole foot in wins and the other person is It. |
| Paper, Scissors, Rock - This game is for choosing between 2 people. You put your hands behind your back and then count to 3. When you say 3 you have to hold your hand out in a shape. You can make a rock with your fist, scissors with your fingers or paper with a flat hand. The rules are: Scissors beats paper because they cut it. Paper beats rock because it covers it. Rock beats scissors because they make them blunt. The person who loses has to be It. |
| Dipping Rhymes - Here are our favourite rhymes for dips. We stand in a circle and put our fists or feet in. One person says a rhyme and points to the fists or feet. If it lands on you at the end of the rhyme, you're out. The last person in is It. My mother and your mother were hanging out the clothes, My mother gave your mother a punch on the nose. What colour was the blood? (choose a colour, eg. blue) B-L-U-E spells blue and you are out! Scout, scout, you're out. Inky, pinky, ponky, Daddy bought a donkey, Donkey died, Daddy cried, Inky, pinky, ponky. Mickey Mouse Built a house What colour was it? (Choose a colour eg. green) G-R-E-E-N spells green and you are out. Dip doo magazoo, It is not you. |

| Arms In the Circle - Everyone stands in a circle and puts one of their arms into the middle. We count to 3 and the last person to pull their arm out is It. |
| Foot Drop - Everyone stands in a circle and puts a leg into the middle. One person throws a ball into the circle and the first person to be hit on the leg by the ball is It. |
| Windows - Everone stands in a circle with their legs apart. Someone throws a ball into the middle of the circle and if it rolls through your legs you are It. |
