    playing at marbles, playing card and high gates.
    "Camoige" is played with a ball and hurley. "Base-ball" is played with the hands. "High gates" is another game which is played in the summer. The children all gather together and form a big ring and one goes outside and calls out "this gate padlocked this gate opened".
    Another game which is played in summer is "Hide and go seek." Three or four usually play it. Two would go off and hide and when they would be hid in a place where the other would not see them they would shout and the other would go and look for them.
