    draughts, and skittles are indoor games.
    It is mostly on wet days that children play the indoor games. Jumping is another game boys play in the fields. Two bits of sticks are stuck down in the ground and another stick put across at certain heights and the boys jump over it. It is best to play blind man buff in a safe place. One player is selected and a bit of cloth is tied around his eyes and the others run and hide and he goes around and feels and who ever he tips will be the blind man like him.
