- I play a lot of different sorts of games. In Spring I play marbles and sometimes "fool in the middle" which is played with five or six stand in a ring and one in the middle who is called fool in the middle who is called "fool in the middle" and each one standing in a hole and keep changing places and the fool tries to get into the holes.
In Summer I play colours which is played by eleven or twelve players and a namer and a divil or an angel and they keep naming the colours to see who will get the most.
I sometimes make a daisy chain with a piece of thred and High windows and Low windows which is played with eleven or twelve standing in a ring and someone to throw a piece of paper at one of the children to tig them.
In Autumn I make hats out of leaves that fall from the trees with thredd and sometimes the roundberries that grow on the side of the road and sewing them together and making crowns out of them.
