    Games.
    The games I generally play at home are hand-ball, tig and hide-and-go -seek.
    The one I like best is hide-and-go-seek. Sometimes two go to hide, and two go to look for them. When the two that went to hide are hidden, they shout "Coo,Coo". Then the other two go to look for them, when they have them found, they take their places and hide
