    The boy or girl who is to be the blind man gets a cloth. The cloth is securely tied round his eyes so that he can see nothing. If he tips any of them they are blind-mans-buff.
    The most popular game among children is doll's house. They make a little house with stone rounf it to represent a wall, and they get two larged stones for keeping the delp[?] on. One girl is supposed to be mother while the rest are children. She sends them to market, on messages, and to shops. If they do not fulfil her wishes by doing as she tells them they get a slap of the cane.
