    The Games I Like Best
    The game I like best is "Hide and Seek". This is the way it is played :- three or four people gather together the more are in it the better the game is. Then one person gives out the game saying.
    "Hide and go Seek,
    The man is asleep,
    The butcher the baker,
    The candlestick maker
    All jumped out of a rotten potato.
    The person who gets the last word of the verse is out, and this is said till one person is left and that person is to hide her face while the others hide theirs. When they are ahide they say "Luck" three times and then the other person comes out looking for them. The person she finds first has to look for them the next time.
