  1. Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    The games I play are tig, colours, corners, and hide-go-seek. The way you play corners is five people get together and four of them get corners and one stands in the middle and runs from one corner to another and if that stands in the middle gets into the corner first the other has to stand in the middle. then. The way you play hide-go-seek is two hide and two more looks for them and when they find them they hide and the go and look for them. The way you play colours is a few children stands against the wall and the child gives them a colour then another child tries to guss what colour it is. The way you play tig is five or six get together and one of them gives out the tig and whoever the word of the rhyme p-i-g you give the tig falls on her. She has to run after the rest and whoever she catches first has the tig.
