    Games I Play
    We play many games hockey, camogie, skipping, tig, and highgates.
    In Summer we like picking blackberries in the woods for our mothers to make into jelly or jam.
    In Autumn we pick hazel nuts and put them up for Halow Eve. We also eat them when picking them.
    Winter is the time we make "cradlebirds" or "cribs" as we call them to catch blackbirds. Any other birds we catch we let go.
    Around here girls and boys play the same games.
