    Tig.
    Tig is a game which can be played by any number of children. The players stand by the wall and one stands out in front and says this rhyme,
    "P.i.g, pig,
    You have the tig,
    And out you must go."
    The player whom "go" falls on must 'get' out. She repeats this until there is only one person left and the last one has the "tig and must follow the others. It is played in Winter and it is a very warm game
    Chain Tig
    It is played the same as tig except two follow and when they are all caught two more follow.
    Hand-ball.
    Get a small ball and throw it against the wall
