  1. The games I play are marbles, duck and granny, four corner fool, hunting, tip trees, and blackberry picking and nut craking in Autumn, A very amusing game is blackberry picking in Autumn but you should be very careful picking them for in some there are small white worms. In the winter nights I play school or sit by the fire telling stories. Sometimes I play hurling out in the fields, or sit by the fire reading books.
