- Girls play a game called Clod. One of the girls stands on a stone which represents the Clod. Then the other girls go away and hide. After a while the other girl goes in search of them. The first girl that is caught will have to follow the Clod.
The games I play are, Football, Hurley, Handball, Cards, Marbles, Hide and go Seek, See-saw, Swinging and Dallog.
