    In Summer we play, Blackheads, Fortune grass, bird nesting, catching minnows, jumping rivers, skiping with ropes, and making daisy chains.
    This is how Blackheads is played.
    It is played with weeds we get along the roadside. One person holds a blackhead and the other person tries to knock off the head off his opponent's blackhead.
    Fortune Grass.
    It is played with a fern and we say a rhyme,
    A tinker a tailor,
    A soldier a sailor,
    A rick man a poor man
    A beggar man a theif.
