The principal games I play are "Follow," and "Skittles".
"Skittles" are generally on Summer evenings. "Follow" is played by two boys catching hands and they then follow the other boys. When they catch one of the boys he must follow with the other two. Then the three follow until a second is caught; he must go with the other three and then the four follow until all the boys are cuaght.
