    "Willie wag tail"is a nice game. When we are playing "Willie wag tail" oone girl stands at a wall and a lot of other girls stand at another wall opposite her.Then she says "Willie willie wag tail" one, two, three,.".She turns around then and if she catches any of them walking they have to go back to the wall.They continue this until one girl reaches the wall without being caught.
    Colours is another game we play.When we are playing colours a crowd of girls stand by the wall together and one girl gives each of them a colour.Two girls try to guess their colours.
