    Games I Play
    The games I play are tigging, high gates, colours, old hag, Jenny Jones, swinging, playing ball, goose in the garden and button. The way tigging is played is this. One child say the little rhyme. The rhyme is P-I-G you have the tig but you have not it. It is played round till one child is left and that child has to run after the others.
