    About six boys are collected or more to play leap-frog. All the boys bend down with their hands to the ground and the last boy jumps over all the other boys without falling, he runs too and when he gets to the front of the boys he bends down then the last boy now jumps over the boys and so on.

    A number of large bottles are placed on a ditch or wall. About three or four bottles are placed and if five boys are playing they give a half-penny each.
