Please, Mr Crocodile

This is a game that kids can't seem to get enough of. I've been using it for a long, long time so the book I found it in, may well be out of print by now. I'm pretty sure, if my memory serves me well, that I did in fact get it from a book but for the life of me I can't remember which one.

It's a really simple game:

• Draw a river on the floor
• You choose one child to be Mr Crocodile
• Mr Crocodile stands at the top of the river
• The other children stand on one side of the river and shout PLEASE, MR CROCODILE
• Mr Crocodile shouts out a colour or an article of clothing and if you are wearing that colour or article of clothing you can cross the river
• Mr C counts to three and the remaining children have to make a dash across the river
• If he catches you, you become the crocodile
