    Games How to play them.
    Hide and go seek. instead of "Little Minie."
    Hop, step, and a leap. When we are playing hop, step, and a leap, we draw a line on the ground. Then we run up to the line and we take a hop, step, and a leap. The boy who can go the farthest wins.
    Tig. First we say the rhyme,
    "Ittle, Ottle, blue bottle"
    Ittle, Ottle, out."
    The boy the last word falls on has tig. Then he follows the rest, and whoever he touches has tig then he follows the rest, and so on.
