  2. Games I Play

    Share Share Tweet
    Duck and grannie is the name of
    the game I play
    This is an exciting game but dangerous
    as the excitement of the
    game it sometimes leads to an
    accident. People that play duck
    and grannie must have certain round
    stones. Then there is a line drawn
    and the people must stand
    behind this line. Then one person
    must put its stone or duck on the
    grannie. The other people must throw
    their ducks at the duck on the
    grannie to try to throw it off.
    If the duck on the grannie is thrown
    off there is great excitement, if the
    owner of the duck that was on the
    grannie got it upon the grannie
    quickily enough again and catch any
    person before he or she is behind
