- The games I am very fond of during the summer months are hurling and football in a small way, the whipping top is very nice too. Hide and seek is very nice game too also folly when the days get short and the ground becomes wet. I usually turn to indoor games such as snakes and ladders or a little game of "45". The skittles are a great pastime also reading and learning our lessons. Her are the games for girls. Nuts in May, ring-a-ring-a-roses, Law ju lLaw John, Dicky blue-bell, the big ship sails through the alley - O Pokinin. Folly.
