  1. Games

    These are some of the games the children pkayed long ago. The following rhyme is first said. "One lady, two lady three lady pam.
    Vapster vinegar English man
    Koory Keery English Mary.
    Hink pink barley you do stink."
    All sit round with outstretched feet. The one giving out the game says one of these words on each foot. The person on whom the last words falls has to pull in her foot quickly or if she does not she will get a plaster of soot.
