  1. Pounds Shillings and Pence

    Share Share Post
    There is a game called "Pounds, Shillings and Pence" There are five rings made, and a person stands on each ring. One ring represents pounds, another shillings, another pence and the other two, halfpence and farthings. The players in the farthing throws the ball first and if it goes to far and the pounds or the others have to follow it the farthings try to get in their places. They all try to get to pounds.
