  1. Duck down on Granny's Splinter
    Get a big flat stone and put a block of wood on it. Then take turns to try to knock the stone from (the b) under the block without knocking the block. Who ever succeeds first, runs in and shouts "Duck down on Granny's Splinter" Then the game begins again.
    Conquers
    Two people get strings with chestnuts tied to the end. Then one tries to knock the head of the others string. They get three chances each turn. Who ever knocks the chestnut off first wins the game.
