    another game which is called "Duck in the Rock." Get two or three stones and put them up on a rock and try and knock them down. A game which boys especially like to play is to place a bottle on the table and stick a pin in the cork, get a potato, stick two forks in the sides of it and stick a needle in the middle of it, place the needle on top of the pin and spin it round.
