It was one of our favourite games when we were kids.We got along in a row and played for hours together till we were tired.we would all sing loudly and aim at one dum fellow to be out every time.

I've never heard of that game...or maybe I have and I have forgotten. Can you tell us how to play it, and I'll tell you whether or not I remember it?

Yes sure why not,may be It isn't played in your place or may be it is called something else.Two people hold hands above their heads and make a passage below their hands,now the others make a line and pass through the passage.The song goes like this........."oranges and lemon sold for a penny,all the school kids are so many,the grass is so green and the rose is so red remember me when you are sad".The two people holding hands will catch the person who is exactly between them.That person is out and will have to wait for the others.I hope I am able to explain you to understand
