The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

A GROUP OF CHILDREN SIT IN THE CIRCLE AND ONE MEMBER PASSES
HIS OR HER SHOE TO THE PERSON HE WISHES, AND THIS PERSON
MUST DO WHAT THE OTHER PERSON SAYS, IF HE CANNOT, HE MUST
KEEP THE SHOE. THE CHILD IN THE END WITH THE MOST SHOES
IS THE LOSER. THIS RHYME IS SAID DURING THE GAME:
YOU MUST PASS THE SHOE FROM ME TO YOU
YOU MUST PASS THE SHOE AND DO WHAT I DO.
