  1. Games I Play - Four Corners

    Share Share Post
    In the summer I play four corners. There are five people playing in this game. There are four people in the four corners and one in the middle then they change places and if the fool in the middle gets into the corner the one in the corner would be fool in the middle.

  2. Games I Play - Witch in the Well

    Share Share Post
    Witch in the well is a nice game. A lot of children go out to gather potatoes and when they are going home they say to each other will anything happen to us and a witch comes and kills them all and leaves them there. Then the mother comes to look for them at night and she finds them dead.
