  1. The Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    Two games I play at school are "through and through the shally go the last shall be taken" and colours.
    Two girls stand out and hold hands and think of some nice thing.
    Then they say through and through the shally go the last be taken.
    The last girl chooses one of the things the other girls think of and what ever the girl says she would like she goes behind one of the girls.
    They do the same with all the girls then they make a mark and which ever of the girls are pulled across the mark is beaten.
