- I play "Piggy Beds" in the school yard. We draw "Piggy Beds" with chalk and we kick little tins along which are called "Piggies".
First we throw the "Piggy into one.
We then kick it into two. When we kick it into three we may have a rest and when we reach G.P.O we can also have a rest
If we walk on the lines of the beds coming back we are out
When we are finished and have thrown the Piggy into one coming back we throw it into one and skip a bed and so on That is called "Kicky"
When I have finished "Kicky" I play "Around the World." We throw the tin into one and hop up and down once without a rest and when we throw the tin into four we hop up and down four times we may have a rest
If we make a mistake in the number which we are for we are out.Betty Patterson
