When the game is fairly started, the two verses which follow may be repeated by all the children:
Keep always to the right
When in the street you walk,
And please remember this—
Do not too loudly talk.
We must not stare at folks,
Or turn to look behind;
Be kind, but never rude—
A good rule you will find.
A little girl who is walking drops her handkerchief; then, after going a few yards further, stops and says:
Where is my handkerchief? oh dear!
I must have dropped it somewhere near.
A boy who has picked it up advances and offers it to the lady, at the same time raising his cap, and the lady says 'Thank you.' The game may be continued at the teacher's discretion, and the verses again repeated.
14. DRESSING CHILDREN
About a dozen of the older children stand in the centre of the room, and a number of the little ones come in with coat and hat in hand. The older children repeat the verse:
Ready for the babies stand,
See they come with hat in hand.
Bigger children always should
To little ones be kind and good.
The younger children then advance, and the others proceed with the dressing. First the coat is put on and carefully buttoned, then the hats or hoods are tied on, and the little child says 'Thank you.'
This game should be played just before the children are dismissed, or before playtime.
