  1. Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    We play a great many games at school. In the Summer time we play different games from the ones we play in Winter. We play different games every season.
    In the Summer I go out with my sisters to play in the hay fields when I am not at school. I go out to the woods to walk and gather flowers. When I am at school we all play games. We play "Here we come gathering nuts in May; French tag, The Black Sheep, Sally, Sally one two three", High Windows, and pots of jam.
    In the Winter time we build snowmen, throw snow balls at one another. Then when there is frost we slide.
