- I play a number of games such as rounders, blind-man's buff, hide-and-go-seek, bird-trapping, and the game of the splinter.Rounders are played in a field or a haggard. There are four stones placed on the ground inside them is called the ring. Then one would go into the ring she would throw the ball to the person outside, and he would hit, and then run around each stone, while the others would go looking for the ball. If the ball hits him while he is running around he is out, also, if the person in the ring catches the ball before it hops, he is out.Then, hide-and-go-seek.One person goes in hiding, and when he is ready, he calls the rest. Then whoever would find him, would go in hiding and so on.(continues on next page)
