- Pillary
This game pillary was played long ago but it is very seldom it is used now.
A number of children gather together and each one has a stone. Then a girl who is called the fool stands in the centre, and a big stone at her feet. Then the rest of the children pegs the stones at the big one and they then run for them + who so-ever the fool catches she has to stand at the stone next time.
Lura bog Lara bog
On winter nights when we have nothing else to do we do often play Lura bog Lara bog. It is played by every one pulling out their feet and one gives out this poem
