- (continued from previous page)Paper Chase
This game is generally played in cold weather when boys want to warm themselves. This is how it is played. A group of boys gather together and they get a bag and fill it with paper. Then one boy puts the bag on his back and he goes off a distance from the others spreading the papers as he goes along. The after a while he calls the others. They follow him, gathering the papers as they go along. Whoever catches the boy must go off spreading the papers. The game is finished when every boy has has got his chance of running and spreading the papers. When the game is finished every boy feels nice and warm. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
