- Frog-jump was played in a field. About twenty boys would go on their hands and knees on the grass. The last boy would jump over all the others. Then the next would do the same until they would be all finished.
In playing Jack stones a person used put four stones on the back of his hand, and throw them up and turn up the palm of the hand so that they would fall into it again.Collected by: - Nóra Ní Chasadaigh, Ballycashen
