  1. "Games"
    The games I play are:- Ludo, Table Tennis, Chess, Snakes and Ladders, Whist and Draughts. These are the games I play indoors. The outdoor games I play are Hide and Seek, Football, Tip-cat and other school games.
    When I am sitting round the fire my mother often tells me stories about different things and sometimes I sew and knit.
    When Christmas comes round all the little children become delighted because they are always looking out for presents and parties.
    The games I play at Christmas are:- Nuts in May, Grand-Old-Duke of York, Hide the Thimble, Musical Chairs and Bursting Balloons.
    At Hallow Eve I play apple-bobbing
