  1. I play a lot of games such as hide-and-go seek, rabbits, blind man's buff, and many other games.
    The way we play blind man's buff is to cover someone's face with a cloth and then that one to catch all the rest.
    When we are playing hide-and-go-seek we all go to a hiding except two and these two are to find all of us.
    If we are playing rabbits we put a line of stones in two corners of a field and we call these borrows and we run from to other and then two of us catch all the rest.
