  1. Only four or eight may play this game. They stand in a square and they have a ball, they throw it from one to another and if one not able to catch it he is D and so on until they finish at y, and whoever gets all the letters is called "Donkey".

  2. Any number can join in this game. One of the members ties a piece of cloth around his eyes and follows the others round the house trying to catch some of them and sometimes he might be ten minutes before he could catch anybody. When he would catch one he would put the cloth on his eyes and they would proceed as before.
