   When the square is filled the marks are added and wherever has the most wins.
   'Chip-chop-cherry'.
   When we play 'chip-chop-cherry' we draw a large circle and divide it into several it into several sections. A number is written in each space. Each person playing starts at certain number and goes all round the circle saying "Chip-chip-cherry, all the men in Londonderry, could not climb over the big high walls of chip-chop-cherry." The person playing strokes out the number he stops at and writes it down again in a column of his own. When all the numbers are stroked out the person with the greatest result wins.
   'Box'.
   If we play box one get a piece of paper and puts dots on it. Then she draws a line joining two of the dots. Whoever can make the most squares wins the game.
