    Games
    There are plenty of games out for boys and girls to play. The best games of them all are the old games that were played long ago. Some of the games are chillie? and it is a very nice game it is played with two bits of sticks one long and another short pointed stick which you put on wall and hit it with the long one and another boy goes away a bit and tries to catch it, and if he catches it the other boy is out but if he does not catch it he will get so many jumps to the ring if he gets in which jumps he is in and so on,
