    (continued from previous page)
    Workman is played by picking a child to stand at a wall and the other children makes up things such as knitting, sewing, ploughing, clipping, darning. They go up to the child that is standing at the wall and asks what are they doing. If she finds out what they are doing she runs after the children and if she catches a child that child is at the wall then. If she does not catch a girl she is at the wall again herself.
