GAMES FOR THE SCHOOLROOM
Preliminary.--This little game may be used to teach children to be
courteous to strangers, and it should also teach them how to carry
liquid without spilling.
Directions.--The school or classroom should be the 'house,' and a boy
(representing the man who asks for water) should go outside. One child
is required to answer the door, and another may carry the glass of
water, or the same child may do both.
The 'man' comes and knocks at the door, which is opened by a little
girl; he then says:
A drink of water, please, I pray,
You'll give me, madam, this hot day.
A child walks across the room with the glass of water, which should be
carried on a plate or small tray, without spilling, and hands it to the
man, who takes it, saying, 'Thank you.' When he has finished drinking,
he returns the glass, and the child says 'Good-day,' and closes the
door.
