There are many games played .We play games at school.We play four -corners. Here is my black and here is my blue.The poor old cock Robin is dead in his grave. The way we play four-corners, each one has to have a corner of their own and a fool in the middle.It is a round ring and a girl or boy inside as the cock Robin.In Summer boys and girls go to the woods picking nuts and sloes.In Winter the boys go catching birds.Colours are played to give out a different colour to each person and the devil and the angel will have to call a colour .The angel will call first and then the devil call.
