- The games that I play are Cat and Dog Hounds and Foxes, and Marbles.
The way I play Cat and Dog is, I get a small piece of a stick, and leave it on a stone. I get a long stick and hit the little one with it, and the little one goes up in the air.
There does be another boy standing away from me, and if he catches the stick, I am out of the game.
If he does not catch the stick, he would throw it at the long one, and if he hits it I am out of the game.
