TAPPY ON THE ICEBOX

EVERYONE STANDS IN LINE IN FRONT OF "IT." THE PERSON
WHO IS IT TAPS EVERYONE ON THE HEAD, SAYING,
"TAPPY ON THE ICEBOX, ONE, TWO, THREE. DON'T YOU
LAUGH, DON'T YOU SMILE, DON'T YOU SHOW YOUR DIRTY
TEETH." THE PERSON TAPPED ON THE WORD TEETH MUST
CHASE "IT" WHILE EVERYONE ELSE CHASES HIM.
