- In winter & also in summer, I play "Hunt the Fox". To play it, two go ahide & the rest hunt.
Sometimes I play "School", having stones for children & leaves for books & bits of sticks for pens & pencils.
Our favourite game is playing "Stealing Apples". We use stones or leaves for apples & they would all steal them. One of us would be ahide & catch them & put them to gaol & [?] them.
