“The following, are a number of games played by the children of this district.”
The following are a number of games played by the children of this district.
" Hide and go Seek" " Witch in the Garden" , " Fox and Chickens" , " Colours", " Bull in the Ring" , "Cat", "Chain Tig" , "Thread Thread the Needle", " Jack Stones", and " Jimmy come look for the Bones". My favourite game is "Colours".
A certain number of players are needed for this game, who form into a ring. One of the players is chosen to act as the devil.
She goes to a certain spot which is called hell, afterward she finds another spot which is called heaven. Another player is chosen to be the mother of the players that are left behind. The mother gives each player a colour such as, pink, blue, green, "etc".
When all are ready, the devil arrives at the door.
Devil: -"Knock, knock, knock."
Mother:- "Who comes there."
Devil:-The devil and his beard."
Mother: What do you want
Devil: "Colours"
Mother: "What Colour
Devil:- "Pink, blue, green.
