  1. The Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    We play games at school like tig and a lot of other games. The boys play their own games like football and marbles, and jack-stones.
    We have different games for each season. The girls play hide and seek. They count the children and whoever nineteen and twenty falls on they have to seek.
    Boys play foot-ball and a lot of other games, and they too have a game for every season.
    The girls play skipping and making bird cradles in the Summer. They also play blind man's buff in winter. When the frost comes they go sliding and making snow-men.
