    Blind-man's buff is always played in the winter. There is a stocking tied around the person's eyes. Then whoever he catches puts it on and so on.
    Trapping birds is played when the snow is on the ground. First of all the person gets a stick and a pan He then puts the pan against the stick and shakes some bread under it. He then ties a rope around the stick, and he goes in some hiding-place carrying the rope with him.
    Then, when the birds come eating the bread, he pulls the rope and the pan falls down on the bird. A number of people go tracking hares when the snow is on the ground.
