- This was a favourite game at school long ago and is still played by the children in Termonfectin.
Each girl plays with 5 round stones on grass. A girl throws her 5 stones on the ground picks up one, tosses it in the air and picks up another from the ground, and catches the two together. She then puts them back on the grass throws up another stone, picks one up and catches the two together and puts on grass. The last one is picked up thrown into the air, the four stones picked up at the same time catching the other stone. If this is not successful the player is out. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
