My Mum played the
Farmer Wants a Wife
Carol is 31 years old and tells
us about a game played when aged 9-12. My school break times: My mum used
to do handstands in the toilets My favourite school playground game: “The
Farmer Wants a Wife”.
How to play: You make a big
circle holding hands. Then you pick someone to go in the middle and you
walk around that person saying a chant and when its finished, the person
in the middle picks someone that chanted and that person goes in the middle
and the people start chanting again.
What you need: People
Special game location, surface
or design: Almost any type of surface will do.
Special rhymes, songs or
language used: "The Farmer wants a wife Ee oh my daddy oh the farmer wants
a wife the wife wants a child ee oh my daddy oh the mother wants a child
a child a child..." and so on. (Amanda Dewer)
