When I was a litle girl in the 50's, I played a game called 'stroke her down, strok her down' where there was one person who was the one to be stroked, the other kids saying 'stroke her down, stroke her down' ..............finishing with 'someone will give you a great big knock' or words similar. Does anyone know this game? If you do, please would you tell me the rest of the words after 'stroke her down' Thanks in anticipation.Legolassie.
In our area, we played a similar game. The person who is 'on', faces a wall and covers their eyes. then someone using their finger lightly 'draws' on their back saying the following. " I draw a snake upon your back, when some-else touches, the one of the others in the group gently touches the victims back. the victim then turns around and tries to guess who had touched them. If they were right, the guessed person takes over. Hope that this helps
Hi, I played the snake game too, but the one I was asking about had a rhyme and it's the rhyme I can't remember. I am beginning to think that perhaps it was more a northern game. Thanks for reminding me of this one though, Much appreciated. Legolassie.
