    (continued from previous page)
    when this rhyme is said, we say, Last - Last etc, till the last person comes.
    Hide - and - seek.
    This is how we play, Hide-and-Seek.
    The scholars divide into two parts. Then one side hides, while the other stays in a "den." Then when we think they are hidden, we go and look for them. When they are found we tig them before they get to the "den."
    Colours.
    We all get in a row except two, - the one who "tigs" us and the one who gives the colours. Each person gets a separate colour. The person who "tigs" us guesses all the colours, if any one has a colour that is guessed, she runs and if she is tugged, she is a "rotten egg," and she gets out of the game, and if she is not tugged, she gets another colour.
