- (continued from previous page)The way this game is played is as follows. First you make a big square then you make eight small squares of it. Then you put a number in each square. Then you jump from one square to another, if you jump on the lines you are out.Paper-Chase.The way this game is placed is as follows. First you get a big bag and you fill it with papers. Then, one boy will will run about fifty yards with the bag and throw papers out of it as he runs along. Then he runs back to where he started, he runs back to where the other boys are, then he says 'go' and all the boys run after the papers. It is great sport for sometimes they will not be able to catch them because the wind will be blowing them away. I like this game very much.(continues on next page)
