Blub-blub-blub

The boys sit in a circle. The leader walks around the center and suddenly points to a seated player and says, "Blub-blub-blub." The player must say "Blub", before the leader has finished his last "Blub." If he fails, a point is counted against him. If the leader points at a boy and does not say "Blub, blub, blub", the player must remain silent. If the player says, "Blub", a point is counted. The player with the fewest points at the end of the allotted time is the winner.

 

Three Tiger Fish

Three Tiger Fish, Three Tiger Fish

Their tails go left and, their tails go right.
Their gills breathe in and, their gills breathe out.
Did you ever see such a slippery sight
As Three Tiger Fish?
