  1. Games We Play

    Share Share Post
    The children around here play a number of outdoor games, such as Hide and Go-Seek, Frog in the Middle, Bull in the Barn and Four Corners, This is how Hide and Go-Seek is played. One girl goes seeking and all the others go hiding. When they are ready they say "Cooc". Then the one that is seeking goes to look for them and who ever she catches, has to seek the next time.
    Bull in the Barn is played with a number of girls catching hands and one girl in the middle of the ring, she tries to get out through the ring and is she got out of the ring the other girls follow her and who ever catches her has to be the bull then.
