    This is how we play hide and seek.
    About ten of us gather together and then one of us hides our eyes and all the other children go away and hide. After a while the "looker" goes and gets them and the first spied is the looker next time.

    About four can play this game. We all stand in a circle and we get a ball. One throws it to the other. The one who lets the ball fall is D and every time you let it fall there is a letter of Donkey put on you. The first person who gets all the letters of Donkey is out.
    The game is performed over and over until they are all out.
