  1. The Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    There are many games played in this district and I take part in some of them myself, the following games are.
    Blind mans buff: A number of boys or girls collect together in a house then one of them is blind folded so that he cannot see, all of them go into hiding places they then shout cook and the person comes along very cautious looking for them.
    Another game I like to play is rings it is a board with hooks on and a number painted under every hook, then you have rubber rings and throw them at the board each time trying to get them in on the hooks and see who will get the most numbers the first.
