[Answer] 5. Today I see a line of children walking between two players who are holding each other's hands and forming an arch. All of a sudden, they drop their arms and trap a child! What famous bridge were they almost certainly singing about during this game?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. Today I see a line of children walking between two players who are holding each other's hands and forming an arch. All of a sudden, they drop their arms and trap a child! What famous bridge were they almost certainly singing about during this game?"



...1. Golden Gate Bridge 2. London Bridge 3. Sydney Harbour Bridge 4. Brooklyn Bridge "London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady." At the end of the verse, the 'bridge' players drop their arms, capturing the child inside them. What happens next can be any one of a number of things. I have a memory from childhood of the captors swinging their arms from side to side and jostling the captive while chanting "Take the keys and lock him/her up, lock him/her up, lock him/her up; Take the keys and lock him/her up, My fair lady" before proceeding to the next stage. The captive is asked to pick one of the two teams being formed by the game. Sometimes they choose a person, sometimes they are asked to make a random choice, such as Gold Team vs Silver Team, and don't know which team they will be on. They whisper their choice to one of the captors, who know which team is which, and wait for the game to continue. This repeats until all players have been formed into two teams, who then compete in a tug-of-war. Sometimes the verses used for the marching phase are changed to suggest how the bridge can be repaired: "Build it up with sticks and stones", Build it up with iron bars", Build it up with silver and gold", and other suggestions can replace the "London Bridge is falling down" portion of the song. The origins of this game, which has been played for over 500 years, are obscure. Nor is it clear which of the bridges to be found in London is the subject of the song. More discussion can be found in "Chronicles of London Bridge" (1877) by Richard Thomson.
