  1. The Games I Used to Play

    Games I used to play.
    The games I used to play are "Hide and go seek","Tip the finger","Ghost in the well", "Ring a rosey", "Wall flowers", "We go gathering nuts in May", "Blind man's buff", "Forfeits", "Colours", "Trades", "Cross tig", "Four corners".
    "Hide and go seek". A number of the girls or boys go one way and more stay in "bar". When the others are gone a hide and say "Cu", the others follow them and the ones they do not catch get into "bar" and are safe.
