- The games I play are marbles, Hiding the thimble, Hide go seek, fool in the middle, blind mans buff, fox and geese. Those games are played different. Fool in the middle is played by all standing round in a ring and one person standing in the middle. Then the children move from one stone to another and if the person in the middle gets on a stone the person that was on that stone had to be a fool. Blind mans buff is played by tying a cloth on a person's face and let the rest of the children run about, and who ever the blind man catch is then to be the blind man. The games the boys play are football and hurling.
