  1. The games I usually play are foot-ball, hurling, leap frog and tig.
    Leap frog is usualy played in the winter months because it is a very warm game. The way it is played is one boy would bend down and another boy would come along and leap over him and so on until every boy gets a leap.
    Some children amuse themselfs at night playing cards and ludo and draughts.
