FROG IN THE MIDDLE.
One player is chosen for the frog and sits in the centre of the floor with his feet crossed in tailor fashion. Where there are more than twenty it is well to have two frogs. The other players stand in a circle around the frog, repeating: "Prog in the sea, can't catch me!" They dance forward toward the frog, tantalising him and taking risks of being caught. If the frog touches one of the players, he exchanges places with him. The point is that the frog must not at any time leave his sitting position until released by touching another player.
