- (continued from previous page)In Summer we play another game called, Marbles. Each boy needs a marble which is about the size of a bird's egg. We make three holes about four feet apart and the holes should be two inches deep. The first hole is counted one and the next two and the last three. We throw, the marbles from one hole to another until the game is finished The boy who had twenty-one first was the winner.
