- The games I play are, "hide and go seek" shooting marbles, picking blackberries in the autumn, and gathering nuts.
The way we play "hide and go seek" is, someone hides his face, and all the others go away and hide, and the first one that he catches has to hide the next time.
The way we shoot marbles is to make a ring, and put five marbles in the ring, then take a marble and go back about four yards, and shoot at the ring, and any marbles you put out you get keeping them.
The way we pick blackberries is, to get a can and go out along the fences and pick until the can is full, then take them to the shop and sell them. The way that we gather nuts is, to get our schoolbags, and we go to the glen, and climb up the nut tree and fill our schoolbags.
