- We play alot of games in school every day. We play "Púicín Súil".
One child puts a cloth across her eyes and hunts the others. The person that is caught puts the cloth across her eyes and so on.
"High Gates." is another game we play. We all join together in a ring. One girl goes round the ring and counts twenty, she is the cat, the person that is twenty is the mouse. The cat hunts the mouse round the ring. When the mouse is caught she goes round the ring and counts twenty and so on.
"Jobs" is another game. One girl gets a stick and gives out jobs to the rest. Then she goes to town and they all follow her. She hunts them and beats them for not doing the jobs
