- Games I play 1. Children play a lot of different games. So her are some games we play at school.
"Tig" this is the way we play it. All the children get a long in a row and one child says the following, P.I.G pig you have the tig O.U.T spells out take off your hat and coat and walk straight out.
The child goes on like this till all are out and the last left in has the tig and then that child runs after someone and tries to give them the "tig" and so the game goes on.2. "Hens and chickens" Two children catch hands and "They" are called "hens" and all the rest of "us" are called "chickens", and the two hens run after all the chickens, and every one they catch goes in between the two hens an all run an run till every one is caught and then the game starts all over(continues on next page)
