Ballina - Game
Touch the wall
One boy stands facing the wall with his hands tipping it. The rest of the boys stand along the opposite wall. Then the boy standing with his face to the wall counts seven as quickly as he can. When he is counting all the boys run as quick as they can to his wall. When he turns round after counting seven if he sees anyone moving that person will have to return to the start. Whoever touches the wall first without being seen moving by the boy, that person stands with his face to the wall and all commence again.
