Creep Mouse

Creep Mouse

Creep Mouse is an informal game played with babies. In the game, one (child, teenager, or adult) marching his or her two fingers up from the infants toes towards the babys mid-section, reciting a rhythmic verse something like “Here, comes, the, creep, mouse, from, the, barn, into, the, house” once the walking fingers reach the mid-section, the baby is then tickled and the sounds “giddy giddy getchya” are made, much to the baby's amusement. This game is often repeated with an increased cadence with each round.
