  1. There are many games which I like but the one I like best is pickie. Spring is the time for playing pickie. Pickie is played by putting 1,2,3,4,5,6, in numbers on six flags. A stone is put in the first flag; then the person hops on the last flags and when she is coming back she has to pick up the stone. If she hops on the line of the flags, she is out of the games. Only two at a time can play pickie.
