    5. Rounders. There has to be three stones left on the ground and one of players to have a ball. Another player runs round the stones and if he is struck with the ball before he is round he has to wait until the other players are round.
    6. Marbles. Three holes are made in the ground and the players tow for the middle hole. The player that gets nine holes, tries to put the other players in a certain distance when he has nine holes wins the game.
    7 Frog in the middle. The players form a ring and one goes in the middle. Then the others go round singing Frog in the Middle and can't catch me. If the player in the middle catches any one of the others, that player has to go in the middle.
