Visiting Grandmamma

Source: Games Without Music For Children
Category: GAMES FOR THE SCHOOLROOM





Directions.--Four little girls are selected to visit grandmamma, and
to carry messages and presents to her. Grandma's 'house' is made by a
ring of children (see Frontispiece, and description of same on p. 31),
and the girl who is to be 'Grandma' sits in the ring knitting. An
old-fashioned kerchief and cap help to make the 'grandma' more real, and
a pair of spectacles adds further to the effect. If the 'coach' game be
used in conjunction with this, the little girls may be the 'passengers'
and go in the 'coach' to grandma's house. The 'door' (see description of
Frontispiece on p. 31) should be opened by a little maid, then the four
children enter and repeat the lines:

CHILDREN ALTOGETHER
Good morning, grandma, we have come
With messages from all at home.

FIRST CHILD
Mamma sends love, and I'm to say
She hopes you are quite well to-day.
[Grandma replies suitably.]

SECOND CHILD
These flowers, dear grandma, are for you,
[Gives her flowers.]
In my small garden bed they grew.

GRANDMA
Thank you, my dear.

THIRD CHILD [handing a basket]
And here are cakes that Nellie made
To send to grandmamma, she said.

FOURTH CHILD [giving basket to grandma]
Ripe fruit I bring for grandmamma,
These pears and plums are from papa.

When 'grandma' has thanked each of the children, they take leave of her
and return home.

The Guessing Rhyme, No. 92, might be given after playing the above game.
