    Games We Play Outdoor
    Boy’s Games
    The games the boys play at Roxboro school are:-
    Hurling
    Football
    Racing
    Jumping
    Leap-frog
    Hounds and Hare
    Prisoners
    Wheel-Barrow
    Cap-Ball
    Ghost in the Garden
    Follow my Leader.
    Wheel-Barrow
    Any number of pairs of boys can play this game. One of each pair lays his hands on the ground and his companion catches him by the legs. All the pairs line up in a row and when they are all ready a boy claps his hands and they start walking as fast as they can. The boy who is caught by the legs walks on his hands and the other drives him along. A mark is put in the field and who ever passes it
