Rhyme
The Ants
The ants go marching one by one: Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah!
Chorus:*
The ants go marching one by one, the little one stops to shoot his gun, and they all go marching down to the earth, to get out of the rain, Boom Boom Boom!
The ants go marching two by two...the little one stops to tie his shoe...
three by three...climb a tree
four by four...slam the door
five by five...do the jive
six by six...pick up sticks
even by seven...go to heaven
eight by eight...shut the gate
nine by nine...check the time
ten by ten...shout THE END!

GROCERY STORE GAME.
GROCERY STORE GAME. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE PLAYING. ONE PERSON
STARTS BY SAYING," I WENT TO THE STORE AND BOUGHT SOME..."
THE NEXT PERSON REPEATS WHAT THE FIRST SAID AND ADDS SOMETHING TO
THE LIST. WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING OUT OF SEQUENCE, THAT PERSON
IS OUT. THE WINNER IS THE ONE WHO CAN REMEMBER THE WHOLE LIST.
