WEE BOLOGNA MAN

Two to forty players. The leader recites:

I'm a wee Bologna Man;
Always do the best you can
To follow the wee Bologna Man.

While doing this he imitates an instrument of an orchestra. The others imitate him.

This game may be varied, the Bologna man imitating animals or birds, or making any sound he wishes to make, or he can hop and croak like a frog, or imitate the motions and noise of an angry cat, or the like.

DRAW A BUCKET OF WATER

This game is played in groups of four. Two players face each other, clasping hands at full arms' length. The other two face each other in the same way, with their arms crossing those of the first couple at right angles. Bracing the feet, the couples sway backward and forward, singing the following rhyme:

Draw a bucket of water,
For my lady's daughter.
One in a rush,
Two in a rush,
Please, little girl, bob under the bush.

When the last line is sung the players all raise their arms without unclasping the hands, and place them around their companions, who stoop to step inside. They will then be standing in a circle with arms around each other's waists. The game finishes by dancing in this position around the ring, repeating the verse once more.
