Girls lined up chant in unison “Crocodile, Crocodile, may I cross the golden River? If not, why not, what’s your favourite colour?”
The crocodile then yells out a colour – any girl wearing that colour gets a free pass across the river. Anyone not wearing the colour needs to race across the river without the crocodile capturing them. If they get tagged it’s their turn to be the Crocodile.
