  1. This is How we Play High Window

    Share Share Post
    About twenty can play in this game. They all catch hands and hold them up high and form a circle.
    Two persons stand one at each side and one is to ask the other "What colour is the sky" and the other says, "blue". Then the other says "follow me through every hole I go through. One runs after the other to try to catch them. When they are caught the game is played over again.
