_5 to 10 players._

_Indoors; out of doors._

This is one of the traditional dramatic games, obviously an
abbreviated form of _Mother, Mother, the Pot Boils Over!_

One player is selected for gypsy, and one for the mother. The others
are children. The gypsy remains in hiding while the mother says to her
children, pointing to the different ones in turn


"I charge my children every one
To keep good house while I am gone;
You and you, but specially you,
Or else I'll beat you black and blue."

The mother then goes away and blinds her eyes. During her absence the
gypsy comes in, takes away a child, and hides her. The gypsy repeats
this until all of the children are hidden. The mother returns and
finds her children gone, whereupon she has to find them. When all have
been found and brought back home, all chase the gypsy.
