    The games all the children play now are picky, skipping, cricket, and blind man's buff. There are different seasons for playing those games. The season for playing picky is in Spring and it is the one I like best. The way to play picky is to get a piece of chalk and from one to six flags. Any number of children can play it. Then jump on each flag when you are coming back you would take up a small stone which is called the picky. If you put your foot on the flag you would go out.
