SummaryPerfectly Exquisite

Aptly named hiding game in which girls hid from the boys under the pretence of secreting their jewels, only to be found, wrestled to the ground and groped. Unless they were ugly, in which case aforesaid groping took place out of sight.

Possibly the first game I ever played. It is named after the noise made when an unsuspecting child puts cellophane packing up their nose, but hasn't learnt to breathe through their mouth yet. In fact, that's exactly what it is. Can be used as punishment for having new shoes.

In which the object of the game was to break the one school tricycle, accidentally. A common strategy relied in strength in numbers, as no single blame could be laid. This provided ample opportunity for beating the child who had been allowed to ride it that playtime.

You could escape being told on by shouting BUM loudly while the 'ummmmm' was still going on, and before the rest started.
Doing it in lessons was a calculated gamble on which would get you into less trouble - being told on, or shouting 'bum'.
