  2. How these Games Are Played

    BILLY PÚICÍN
    A number of children congregate in an empty house. One boy is picked out and a handkerchief is tied round his eyes. He follows the other boys and the first boy caught is called Billy Púicín and he has to follow the others then.

    GOAT IN THE GARDEN
    This game is played by a number of girls. One girl goes into a corner and another girl comes out and says "there is a goat in the garden" whereupon a third girl would go in and hunt out the goat and the goat would follow the rest of the girls.
