- (continued from previous page)Another game we have is "Tig". One child strikes the other with his hand and he says "Tig" and then he runs away and the other one follows him until he catches him. Then he catches the other ones.Bridge Timlin (VI class)

- There is also another game we play. It is called, "Doggie".
