  1. All children around here play alot of different games scuh as hand-ball, tig, jumping, running, ring a ring of roses, Frog in the middle, and Biddy in the banbox and Robber's pass and chain-tig.
    Running is nearly the best of them all because everyone tries to win the race.
    Chain-tig is another nice game because one boy has to follow the rest of them the first one he catches has to follow with him and so on up until he has the others caught.
