“Frog in the Middle”
Description
Children's game: "Frog in the middle And can't get out. Take a stick And punch him out."
Notes
I suspect that there is a good deal more to this game than Scarborough describes. But until we find another version, we're left guessing, e.g., as to how one becomes the "frog" (whom she describes as a child in the middle of a circle, and poked out into the ring). - RBW
