   We play another game at school called Break the egg. It is played in this way. All the children form into a ring and hold hands. Then some child runs round the ring and tips each child saying to each, Ní ort-sa and when she comes to the child she wants to follow her she says Acht ort-sa Then this child follows the other one put she must pass through the same place as the other one or if she does not she breaks the egg and another child must follow When the first person is caught the pursuer must tip someone and she follows
   We have another ryme for playing the game. It is, I have a little dog and he will not bite you, nor you, etc. but you.
