    Hide and Go Seek
    When you are playing "Hide and Go Seek" you place a stone in the middle of a garden or any other place. It is called the town. One boy holds the town while the others hide. The boy that holds the town counts to a hundred. When he is finished counting he says "All the men in Derry must be hid". Then he goes to look for the boys that are hid. As he finds them he calls out their names. Any boy who puts his foot on the stone before the other boy sees him holds the town. He counts to a hundred the same as the other boy and so on.
