  1. Games I Play - The Ring

    Share Share Post
    When four or five people would be gathered around the fire one of them would get a ring and place it between his hands and go round to each person. When he would be finished he would ask, Who has the ring? and then who-ever would be wrong would be slapped.

  2. Games I Play - Hurley, Burley

    Share Share Post
    One person leans across another's back and while thumping him keeps saying:-
    Harley, burley, hump the tray,
    The cow was muck on the market day.
    Silom maney hump the puck,
    How many feoins(?) stand up?
    Then you point your fingers up and if (they) he does not guess the right number of fingers you hit him harder and say it all over again.
