In "Bingo" the players begin by joining hands and marching round, singing—

There was a farmer had a dog

His name was Bobby Bingo O.

B, I, N, G, O,

B, I, N, G, O,

B, I, N, G, O,

And Bingo was his name O!

The players then loose hands, the girls go inside the ring and stand there, and the boys run round them singing the rhyme again. Then the boys go inside and the girls run round them and sing it. And then hands are taken once more and all go round in the original circle singing it a fourth time. If no boys are playing, the girls should arrange, before the game begins, which shall personate them.
