   Sometimes we play a game called High Windows. All the boys hold up their hands and some one will run round the ring and tig one of the players.Then the tigger will run after the first tigger. In Spring the boys play marbles, and Hop Scotch. At night the people play Hide the Button, the all sit round the fire. Sometimes they play Blind Man's buff. One person puts a cloth on his eyes then he will try and catch some of the others. Then he will have to tell the person's name.
