CHANTING GAME

WHO STOLE THE COOKIE FROM THE COOKIE JAR? NUMBER 1 STOLE THE
COOKIE FROM THE COOKIE JAR. WHO ME? YES YOU! COULDN'T BE! THEN
WHO? NUMBER 3 STOLE THE COOKIE FROM THE COOKIE JAR.

Submitter comment: THIS IS A CHILD'S GAME. THEY SIT IN A CIRCLE AND CHANT. EACH
CHILD IS ASSIGNED A NUMBER AND THAT IS HOW THE CHILD IS PICKED
TO ANSWER BACK AND TO CHOOSE ANOTHER.
