  1. Games I play

    Share Share Post
    The Games I play are Tig, Foxes Hiding and Shoot-man. Foxes is the game I usually play. When we begin to play it one of us would count up to ten three times and the ones that would be ten would have to be the foxes.
    Then the two dens are struck out and if one of the foxes was caught between the dens they would have to hunt until the two more are caught and then they would be left in as foxes again.
