The Bitin Game

*Knock on the doorie,
Teetie in
Lift the sneckie
Dicht the feeties
An walkie in*

A bairn's mou
Is stappit fu
Wi nesty raws o teeth
An gin it nips yer fingers
Ye'll be heard at Monyfeith!

ACTIONS
*Tap on the baby's forehead
Stoop doon & peep into its eyes
Lift the baby's nose upwards
Wipe your finger under & along its nose Pop your finger into its mouth,
where it is encouraged to try to bite.
