  1. Some tricks are played around this place. When young people go around the fire at night time they sometimes play a game called the ring. A person gets a ring and goes round to every one and drops it in someone's hand. Every person playing the game must say who he thinks has it. If he is wrong he gets a slap of a belt from the person who went round with the ring. Whoever gets it will go round the next time with it. Other times Dallóg is played. A person puts a cloth round his eyes and tries to catch someone.
