    the garden. This is played this way. The children all get in a corner and one of them is supposed to be the mother and another one goes out into the playground which is supposed to be the garden out to the garden to bring in their father's shirt. When they go into the garden the ghost begins to shout at them and they come in shouting to their mother and then she hunts them back again and then again they come back shouting to her again and then she goes with them and then the ghost runs after them all and whatever one he catches will be the ghost.
    We also run three legged races this is done by two people tying their inner legs together and running up and down to see who would (beat the races) reach the goal first.
