- Short man is one of the games I play, this is played by getting two boys to join their hands together and form a bridge. The two boys that were forming the bridge would 'chosse' choose two articles such as a silver or a gold watch.
Then all the boys would join in a line and go in under the bridge and the last boy would have to stand. They would ask him which would he prefer. If he would prefer the gold watch he would go behind the boy who had chosen it. When they would have them all selected they would pull "Tug a War."
