   Games. The games I play are Hide and go Seek, Tig, Ciarraige, Rabbits, Hare, Ludo and Snakes and Ladders. In hide and seek the children on whom the numbers nieteen and twenty fall are to hunt. One will hunt the others and the second will stay on the home to stop the others from getting in. The first two caught will have to hunt the next time. The girls play some games like the boys but they have more that boys don't play.
