  1. Games I Play

    Share Share Post
    The games we play are hid and go seek, hiding stone, colours, four corners, skipping, crickets, marbels, and high gates.
    We go for frohans to the crag every Summer. In Autumn we go for blackberries. We get mushrooms in July.
    The way we play hurling we hit the ball down the field and try to put out a goal or a punt
    The way we play hide and go seek one side goes hide and the other side goes to spy when they see a person they run and try to catch him.
    The person is caught is put into den. He is to stay in the den till he spies and catches some one else.
