    Neighbours : Where shall she be buried?
    Mother : In her father's grave in the old churchyard.

    History Edit

  2. High Gates

    Share Share Post
    When playing High Gates, five or six children join together in a ring and one child goes outside the ring and shuts her eyes. This ring must be walked round twice by the child outside and then she hits someone on the back. The person she hits runs around the ring once and a gap is left and the person first to the gap is the winner.
