The children stand eighteen inches apart in a ring, not joining hands.

One child walks round the ring, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and
repeating the words:--

One, two, three,
Come follow me,
Drop, drop, drop,
Where shall I stop?

At the word 'stop,' she drops the handkerchief near one of the children,
and runs; the child picks it up and follows her as she threads her way
in and out of the ring, until she is caught. Then the 'chaser' goes
round the ring with the handkerchief, repeating the rhyme, and the child
who was caught stands in the other one's place.
