- Duck and grannie is the name of
the game I play
This is an exciting game but dangerous
as the excitement of the
game it sometimes leads to an
accident. People that play duck
and grannie must have certain round
stones. Then there is a line drawn
and the people must stand
behind this line. Then one person
must put its stone or duck on the
grannie. The other people must throw
their ducks at the duck on the
grannie to try to throw it off.
If the duck on the grannie is thrown
off there is great excitement, if the
owner of the duck that was on the
grannie got it upon the grannie
quickily enough again and catch any
person before he or she is behind(continues on next page) - Collector
