A World of Games

All around the world, people play games. Many

games have been handed down through the years.

Others have traveled across seas and continents.

Right now a child far away might be playing your

favorite game.

Singing Games

The game London Bridge comes from England.

To play, two children form a bridge with their arms.

Those two players are the gatekeepers. Everyone sings

London Bridge while the other players try to pass

under the bridge before it comes down at the songs

end. When caught, the player chooses to stand behind

one of the gatekeepers. After everyone has been

caught, the two teams have a tug-of-war. In Germany,

the game is called Golden Bridge. Children in

France play another version.

To play the game,

children hold their

hands together to make

a bridge. Children pass

under just as a ship

passes under a bridge.

Did You Know?

London Bridge

London Bridge is played in Latin

America, too. Here are the Spanish

words in English.

Heres a woman (or man) selling figs,

Selling figs, selling figs,

Heres a woman selling figs,

Here she comes.

Now the figs she has sold,

She has sold, she has sold,

Now the figs she has sold,

Here she comes.

In Greece, children play Ringel Ringel. It is a

lot like Ring Around the Rosie, one of the rst games

children in the United States learn to play. In fact,

children play some form of this game in nearly

every country.

Its All Greek to Me

Here are the words to Ringel Ringel in

English. When children get to hush,

hush, hush, they all squat down.

Ringel, Ringel, ring-o!

See the children three-o,

Sitting by the lilac bush.

Call together, hush, hush, hush!

Did You Know?

There are different ideas about

where Ring Around the Rosie comes from.

Some people think that rosie is from the

French word rosier , which means

rose tree.
