    There are a lot of games that children play. These are some Shopeens. They make shelves against the wall. Put two stones on the ground and a flat board on top of them. Put two little sticks standing against the wall and two a piece out. Put another board on them, that is the way you would make the shelves. Get a lot of broken cups, saucers and plates and put them on some of the shelves. Get clay and put it in papers, that's the tea. Get fine sand and put them in also, that's the sugar. Get round little stones and have them in a box, that's the sweets. One goes selling and more comes buying.
