Creep Mouse

Creep Mouse is an informal game played with babies. A child, teenager or adult marches two fingers up from the infant's toes towards the baby's midsection while reciting a rhythmic verse, something like Here, comes, the, creep, mouse, from, the, barn, into, the, house. When the walking fingers reach the midsection the baby is tickled and the sounds giddy giddy getchya are made, much to the baby's amusement. The game is often repeated with the cadence increasing with each round. In the United Kingdom it is played along to the song Round and round the garden.
