  1. Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    Games are played everywhere. The game played in this district by men and boys is hurling. It is a great pastime for them and is a very healthy game.
    Children play many games in school such as, high gates, frog in the well and catching. The one I prefer is catching and we play it the oftenest. When the days are wet and we have to remain indoor, we then play four-corner fool.
    Games are very good as long as they are played in moderation. The games I play at home in the winter evenings are draughts, cards, and ludo. I prefer reading to any other pastime. When the long winter nights are with us girls begin their knitting. This is a very good occupation in which to spend the winter evenings.
