    Games.
    There are many old fashioned games in Ireland which were in use in olden times but they are not much use nowadays.
    One of them is hide and seek. The way you play hide and seek is as follows. Nine boys stand in the den and one stands before them and gives out the game and whoever gets a hundred has to follow. Then the boy who got a hundred has to follow the other boys. Then when the other boys shout he runs and tries to catch them and whoever he catches will have to seek the next time.
