- We play alot of games afters after coming home from schools. We play shoot Man. It is played in this way, two children go into a corner and choose something such as a silver or a gold watch.
Then the rest form into a line behind one another. The two children form a bridge then the rest go under it saying "shoot man shoot man catch the very last man if you can."
When the last person goes in under the bridge they ask him which would he prefer a gold watch or a silver watch. If he said a gold one he would go behind the person who had chosen it.
They would continue that until every one would be caught. Then they would have tug a War to see which one of them would win. We play "Colours"(continues on next page)
