es un juego tradicional de los niños que van haciendo un trencito y pasan por debajo de un puente... mientras cantan "martín pesacador me dejará pasar?" y los diablos y los ángeles responden : "pasará pasará pero el último quedará?" y el útimo de la fila queda atrapado por los diablos o los ángeles al pasar por debajo del puente. debajo

In England they have a children's game called "oranges and lemmons" where the last person is caught and gets his head chopped off (only a game!)

Leave as is

If I were you, I would leave it in Spanish and provide an explanation in English, saying something like, it's similar to the English game Oranges and Lemons, if you want.

London Bridge is Falling Down

si lo que buscas es algún juego tradicional como éste en inglés.
(también está el que te sugiere Terence arriba)

depende del objetivo tu texto, pero yo sí buscaría un equivalente cultural. Incluso en español, en México el equivalente sería "a la víbora de la mar".

"London Bridge is falling down" is a well-known traditional nursery rhyme. The main verse is:

London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, Falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady.
The rhyme is often used in a children's singing game, which exists in a wide variety of forms, with additional verses. The most common is that two players make an arch while the others pass through in single file. The arch is then lowered at a certain point to "catch" a player.

agree Adriana Adarve (X) : Creo que sería la traducción perfecta, sin dejar de explicar la analogía.
