- In the Winter children spend most of their time playing in doors except when a dry day comes and there are few of them in Winter time. When I get a dry day and when I am not busy I spend the most of my time jumping and playing "hide and seek", and many other games.
Such as "fox and chickens" frog in the well" Ghost in the Garden" blind mans Buff. In the night time when we all gather around the fire side we tell stories and other times we play games such as "Draughts, ludo, snakes and ladders," Steeple chase and other games.
Summer is the joyful season in the whole year because we spend most of our time playing out of doors. There are many different sorts of games that we play in summer time such as spinning tips, playing marbles, playing skittles and hand ball.
