    Another game is jumping. There are two sticks put standing in the ground about seven feet away from each other, and another stick tied across. Then everyone try to jump it.
    Another game is "high gates". Everyone join hands, and make a ring. Then one of the crowd count one by one as far twenty one. That person will have to follow the person who touched him. Then when he will catch him he will have to count again as far as twenty one. It is played like that until everyone is caught.
