    Games I Play.
    The games I like best are Fox and Chickens, Colours, Hide and go Seek, Twenty-Four, High Gates and Poor Neddy.
    The way Fox and Chickens is played one child represents the fox. Then all the children go in a line behind the others and the mother in front. Then the fox tries to catch them, and the mother tries to save them. When they are all caught the fox kills all the chickens.
