  1. Games - Colours

    Share Share Post
    "Colours" is the name of a game we play at school. It is played in the following manner. Two children take different colours. The rest of the children go on their turn and take the colour they like best. Suppose Jane took "green" and Kate took "red". What ever child took "green" went behind Jane Who ever took "red" went behind Kate. Then they started to pull. Whatever side pulled best they would have won the game.
