Kangaroo, Skippyroo

Thanks to Jennifer Parker, who posted this game to the Guiding Mailing List!

The girls sit in a large circle with one in the middle who is the kangaroo named "Skippyroo". Skippyroo closes her eyes, or is blindfolded, and the girls in the circle chant

"Kangaroo, Skippyroo,
Dozing in the midday sun
Comes a hunter
Run, run, run"


the leader points to a girl (the hunter) who disguises her voice and says:

"Guess who's caught you just for fun."

Skippyroo has to guess who the 'hunter' is.
