- The children have many old-fashioned games. We play many of them games at school at play-hour. In a room at home we play other old-fashioned games. We play "Puícín." It is a very old game. This is how we play it. We blindfold a child and she tries to catch somebody. On catching somebody the child put the cloth around her eyes and so on. The also play a game inside called "Lurabog Larabog". This is how it goes.
"Lurabog lara bog,
Lúirín buidhe,
Buidhe Ó Neill.
Neill na Phiobáin.
Seicne meille
Glás leoman,
Cur na gCailligh.
Isteach í Flaithis".
The children put out their feet and count along them, one word for each(continues on next page)- Collector
