one who was going to play. That one used to go round
looking for the rest. The children used to have great fun
knocking the child round. He used to keep looking till he
caught one.
2. The people used to sit round the fire and play a game.
Everyone used put out his feet, and the player used say
some words. The last word that would fall on the
person's foot would have to sing or dance.
3. They play games at wakes such as "Cleas an stoilin." A
boy would have to sit on a stool and call out a girl. That
girl would have to kiss him, if she did not she would be
dragged out, or she would have to sing a song.Frances Corely,
