  1. Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    The games I play are, tig, hide-and-go-seek, skipping, draughts, foxy-goosy, and skipping. In Autumn I amuse myself by picking black-berries and cracking nuts.
    In Winter I sit around the fireside, telling stories and playing draughts, foxy-goosy, and houses with my sister. When the snow comes I build snow-houses, snow-men, and heaps of snow. I go to my neighbours house and we play snow-balling.
    In Summer I pull rushes and make baskets, bird traps.
