A jump: - Get two sticks with forked tops. Stick the ends in the ground get a long rod and put it across in the forks of each stick then jump that. If anyone knocks it she must stop jumping it for three rounds.
Winkers: - When playing winkers one person must stand in each of the four corners of the house and another in the middle. Someone in a corner must wink at the person opposite to him. Those two have to change places quickly. Then the one in the centre will try to go into one of the corners. If she succeeds the person whose corner she goes into, will have to go to into the middle.
