  1. Game - Boys Sitting around the Fire

    Share Share Post
    One boy used stand with his back to the fire. All the other boy used sit around the fire (each boy having a foot stretched)
    The boy (standing) used say the following rhyme:-
    Leerapeen Lawarapeen,
    Peebán súil
    Súile Shekne (seicne)
    Dhá chois Lomán
    Lomán locka
    Bí 'stigh do chosa

    If you had not your foot pulled in when he had COSA said you would have to hold your hand out for a slap.
