  1. The Game I Play

    Share Share Post
    There are many different kinds of games in our country, and the game I like best is called dollies. This is the way it is played. get five round pieces of wood standing on one end in a row, three after each other and one on every side. Then number them and put number one on one, two on another, and put number three on the third, and so on. Then get three longer sticks and throw them at them one by one until they are all tossed. As many as likes can play but who ever gets thirty first wins the game.
    Each competitor has three sticks to fire. Number one counts one; two counts two and so on.
