    Hide and Seek, and English and Irish, which I enjoy best.
    A great number of girls take part in this last game, they divide into two columns, one to represent English Soldiers and the other the Irish Soldiers, and stand facing each other then the English advance, towards the Irish, singing as they go, the following verse -
    Do you want some Bread and wine,
    Some bread and wine, some bread and wine,
    Do you want some bread and wine,
    For we are the English Soldiers.
    We don't want your Bread and wine,
    Your bread and wine, your bread and wine,
    We don't want your bread and wine
    For we are the Irish Soldiers.
