  1. Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    Every healthy boy and girl plays some game or another.
    The games which I play are, Dalóg, Duck, Button Rounders, leap frog, spudding buttons, pitch and toss, tip of the hat, hide and go seek, hound and hare.
    "Dalóg" is usually played indoors. One boy is blindfolded and the first boy he catches he has to name him. If he cannot name him he has to let him go but if he can the boy that is caught has to put on the "Dalóg".
