A hilarius game is called "Bumpily, bump, bump, bump." The crowd gathers in a circle. The leader gets in the centerr and starts the game off. She walks up to some prson unexpectedly and with her hands at her ears, flapping them like a donkey's, she says very rapidly "Bumpity, bump, bump, bump." The prson before whom she stands is suppoised to count five before she finishes. If he fails to do so, he takes her place in the center of the crcle and she takes his and the game continues. Youngsters tink this is good sport.
Siamese singing is always a riot. It will be necessary to have six or seven copies of the words for this song. Give them to one groyup of the children and ask them to sing the following words to the tune of America:
"O wa ta goo Siam O wa ta goo Siam. O wa ta goos O wa ta goo Siam O wa ta goo Siam O wa ta goo Siam O wa ta goos."
It won't take the youngsters long to relize they are singing "Oh what a goose I am." The otehr youngsters can then sing the following words, also to the tune of America:
"So say we all of us Every last one of us So say we all, So say we all of us."
