  1. Games and Plays

    Share Share Post
    The games we play are hide and seek, ring a ring a rosey, hurling chickens swinging jumping, runing, riding, making shops, and cradle birds.
    When blackberry season comes we pick cans of blackberries and make jam and cakes and a few other things.
    All the boys play football and tossing and pitching money. In winter girls go to a house and play cards sing songs play music and amuse themselves in different ways.
