  1. I play a lot of games such as Judy and Jack, tig, sheperd sheperd come and count your sheep, high gates, Jacks, corners, and comrades. The way we'd play Judy & Jack is two of us go together, and hold hands behind our backs and say
    "Judy and Jack with silver buttons behind their back
    Hi ho tipsy toe turn the ship and away we go."
    The way to play corners is get four corners, and what ever one has'nt a corner is the fool in the middle. The children change from place to place, and the fool in the middle tries to get a corner.
