Hunt-the-fox is played by many boys. One boy pretends to be the fox and all the other boys follow him. The boy who catches him is then the fox.Skittles are played with eight sticks five little ones and three large ones. The five little ones are put standing in a ring and you stand back six yards from the ring and throw the big ones at the little ones. There are numbers on the little ones and what ever person knocks out the largest number of little ones wins the game.John Leacy,
