- I play a lot of nice games. I play Tig and Cat and the mouse, and other games. I play these games in the long summer evenings. This is how Tig is played. A lot of children gathers togethers and one of them counts up as far as twenty and who ever twenty falls on has the Tig, And then they follow one another with the Tig. This is how Cat and the mouse is played. A lot of children catch hand in the ring. Then one of them calls out five children and one of them has to be a Cat and follow the rest and catch them three times and when they are all caught they have to go back into the ring and call five more out.
