1. Another Game

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   This is another game something like "Forfeits".
   To play this one person sits down, and another puts his head on his lap. The one sitting thumps the back of the other, and says the following rhyme:-
   Hurly, burly,
   The cow, the spade, the market place.
   Simon Nally, hunt the "buck"
   How many horns stand up?
   The "horns" are the fingers of the person sitting. If the second person guesses right at the first attempt, they both change places.
   If he does not guess, someone suggests some hard task for him to do, such as -
   "Walk on your knees, four times round the room" or "Laugh in one corner, cry in another, dance in another, and sing in another.
   There is great fun, when these tasks are being carried out.
