Tit, Tat, Toe
Nursery Rhyme
Tit, tat, toe,
My first go,
Three jolly butcher boys
All in a row;
Stick one up,
Stick one down,
Stick one on the old man's crown.
Notes
To Play Tic Tac Toe: First draw a 3 by 3 grid like the one above. Two players take turns - one is "X" the other is "O". Whoever gets three of their symbols in a row, either across, down or diagonally, wins! In the board above, "O" won by getting three "O"'s in a row diagonally.
